Among others Ack van Rooyen, Keith Copeland, Ingrid Jensen, Ian Mc Dougal, Lalo Schifrin, Adam Nussbaum, Kenny Wheeler, Bruno Castellucci, Slide Hampton, Gene Jackson, a.m.m. And I learned from the masters, Mike Brecker, Hadley Caleyman, Kenny Wheeler, Kenny Werner, Ray Drummond, Yellowjackets, Jimi Halperin, Barry Harris, just to name a few. Besides this I won some prices and made it to some jazz award finals myself and got some scholarships. E.G.

I was teaching 2009/10 at the conservatory Mainz and was happy to be guest professor at the Musikhochschule Franz List in Weimar 2010. I only teach privately right now, very selectively ;-).
