Expertises

Freelance Musician

As a freelance musician, Yentl has performed in various settings, playing an array of instruments including drums, percussion, guitar and piano. He has played in symphonic orchestras, in operas and musicals, jazz-, rock-, funk- and big bands, for studio recordings, in electronic music settings, as well as many others.

Teaching

Yentl began teaching in 2010, instructing private drum lessons before teaching at the Music Academy Zaventem and the JMA Sterrebeek in 2016. He continued to teach at both until he left to travel in 2019. While travelling, he taught music at King Island District High School (AUS) in 2020 and gave private lessons on the Island.

Conducting & Composing

Yentl’s expertise in conducting and composing began in 2011 when he took the artistic director position for the Drum- & Percussion band Paal. In 2016 he took the same role for the Meerhouts Percussion Orchestra and continued with both these orchestra’s until he left for travel. Yentl gained his advanced knowledge of electronic music composition through his work in Live After Tomorrow, his graduation project.

Drums & Percussion

Yentl’s passion for drums & percussion began when he started to play in his local drum- & percussion band and has since progressed into making it his profession. Focusing on playing the drums in a variety of settings, he is a sought after drummer. He became a Laureate in the Belfius Classics Contest, winning the first prize in 2012.
