Bert Lochs

I am a professional trumpet player, composer of both jazz and classical pieces for small and large ensembles alike and a teacher. I am leader/initiator of two trio's: Trio Bert Lochs and Lochs/Balthaus/Herskedal and I play in the Guus Tangelder Bigband, Pieter Basts E.S.P and the Jasper Somsen Group. With my trio's I made some very well received CD's and I played at the North Sea Jazz Festival and a lot of Dutch and German venues. I teach at home and at the music school of Alphen a/d Rijn. One of my main skills is teaching the Balanced Embouchure method. A method of trumpet pedagogue Jeff Smiley. I discovered it in 2002 and it helped me play a LOT better, and it completely turned around my view of how to play and teach the trumpet.

To Dutch followers

Hi,
First of all, apologies to my Dutch followers. I am going to write all my posts in English, so that people from other countries have a chance to read my posts, too. I have a lot of contacts in the US of America, in Germany and in other countries, too, so Dutch would rule out too many people who might be interested in what I have to say. Hope you understand. 
You can post in Dutch if you like, but I will answer in English. You can always send me an email if you have a specific question and request an answer in Dutch.
