ABOUT ME

My name is Jeroen. I was born and raised in the Netherlands, near Utrecht. When I was 20, I finished my Waldorf-School. After that I studied Psychology for a while in Amsterdam, where I've lived for three years. I quit Psychology and studied Music (education) in the Hague. There I also lived a few years. I have taught piano, guitar and singing; in class-situation and private, and lead several choirs. I moved to Berlin to learn the lively city and the artistic people. It worked out very well and now I'm living for a couple of years here, very happily. I love cooking, dining (I'm a vegetarian :-) and enjoying the evening with different kinds of music. I play with my band "Some Pebbles", teach Music and give Musical courses and Workshops.

PHILOSOPHY

Interests
