Educational Repertoire for Junior String Groups

About the composer

ans Scheepers studied the violin with Davina van Wely at the Sweelinck Conservatorium in Amsterdam. Whilst still a student he showed great interest and aptitude for Teaching Methods and specialised in coaching talented young pupils. Having gained his Teachers' Diploma in 1982 he accepted a post at the Royal Conservatorium in The Hague where he is currently involved in teaching the classes for "young talent". In 1996 he also joined the staff of the School for Music and Dance in Amstelveen where he has formed a number of string ensembles which perform under his direction.

During the European school holidays he has given various courses and master-classes in Canada, England and Wales besides directing six annual workshops for string players in Cochabamba, Bolivia.

His compositions are written to suit the various levels of development and difficulty of his own students, showing a combination of various styles and skills appealing to even the youngest of string players.
