Bassoon Performance student with 14 years of experience in music. Current student of Dr. Douglas Bakenhus. Experience in Bassoon Performance and Pedagogy domestically in the US as well as abroad.

Krïstoff is a musician I have known for some time. He’s someone I have collaborated with before, and have witnessed teach. He is the kind of musician that not just teaches Bassoon, but teaches music, and how to bring it to life through communication with other musicians/audience through lifelong lessons that carry on into daily life. I could not recommend him more as a teacher.

Kristoff is kind, friendly, and patient with my son. He has an excellent ability to motivate him to learn new things. He has established a great relationship with my son and makes lessons fun and exciting. His knowledge and love of music is apparent. He is well prepared and communicates clearly. He is timely and well mannered. I couldn’t imagine a better bassoon instructor for my son!

Krïstoff is an amazing professor, very professional, patient and able to explain concepts and techniques in a very clear and very digestible manner.

Kristoff is a more than trustworthy teacher thanks to his scheduling, diligence, and enjoyment of teaching. As a coworker and friend, Kristoff has shown to be flexible and have great teaching skills. Kristoff will go into the necessary details to help explain and has shown much patience. Overall, he can explain what is needed and is willing to accommodate as need be.
