My Experience in Thailand

Hi Folks,

I'm originally from Amsterdam, Holland but have lived in Thailand for over 22 years now. During my first 10 years I lived in Bangkok and worked with several music production companies. By the way I'm a musician and compose/arrange/orchestrate original and existing songs. In 1992 I had my own Fusion-Jazz Band where we performed our own originals. Besides this I composed and arranged music for many projects, one of them was orchestrating broad-way tunes for the Royal Thai Navy Orchestra. In 1996 I started teaching classical/pop/jazz piano for "Mahidol University".
In 2000 my wife and me moved to Chiang Mai to start a family. We now have a son and daughter.

The first three years in Chaing Mai I continued to work with Mahidol by arranging existing songs as a free-lance. In 2003 I changed my job and started working with "Education Center" as the Music Director of the Foreign Department.
In 2006 I become a music teacher at an international Thai school in order to earn a steady income (you know how it goes when you have two kids).
In 2008 I switched to become an ESL teacher and I'm currently still teaching in this position.
Currently in my free time I still teach piano and additionally bass-guitar in rock & pop. If you're interested in studying with me you can have a look at the classifieds section.

I wish all expats in Chiang Mai good luck and when you have some questions don't hesitate to contact me,

With friendly greetings,
