Very important for me is that I during 6 years had intensive lessons from Damian Luca, the King of the Panflute himself! He inspired me to study and to play better every time. I learned many secrets of panflute-playing. On the following pages I’ll tell more about Damian, his Romanian panflute-history and some things more.…
Damian uses music-books, but doesn’t look too much into them. He plays (on the panflute and often on the keyboard) and teaches always by heart - from his memory.
We loved the so-called shock-therapy-lessons: Playing together as long as possible. Very intensive and very useful! The top-condition (strenght) of my embouchure I got is necessary to play the panflute very well. |

I’m Jos Aerts, flute-teacher, and here is - briefly - my musical curriculum: In 1971 and 1972 I finished my studies flute (teacher: Koos Verheul) and recorder (teacher Pieter van Veen) at the Conservatory in Tilburg, The Netherlands. 1971 - 1981 Member of The Muramatsu Quintet (5 flutes). Chamber music in different combinations/ensembles. Then I discovered the Panflute ! In 1986-1988 I was a pupil of Nicolae Pîrvu. And after obtaining my panflute-diplom I started to teach panflute too. Now I teach flute and panflute in St.-Michielsgestel in the southern part of The Netherlands. With guitar-player Paul van der Heijden I form a duo: QE, i.e. Quasi Essentia |
