Hans was an exceptional musician and an inspiring force within the Dutch jazz scene. At Codarts, he was known as a dedicated and engaging teacher. With his expertise, passion, and personal approach, he guided and motivated generations of students. Many of the musicians he taught still carry his lessons and energy with them today.
