Knowledgeable and skilled.

I had a very pleasant experience with Emiel. I was struggling with the upper register. Emiel patiently evaluated the problem and walked me through step by step on how to get to the next level. Emiel also supplied me with practice material to help improve my playing over all. Calm and relaxed.
