Ansje De Groef is a Belgium-based flutist with more than 20 years of teaching experience. She completed her masters degree in Music Performance and Music Education in the Brussels Conservatory. She wrote her own flute method books for children ages 5 & up. The first book, "Krullebol" is written in Dutch, and all the other books (Colorful Flute Etudes) are written in English. Ansje loves all kinds of glitter colors to contrast all the mud she gets on her legs at cross-country races in the winter. And to compensate for all the high flute notes, Ansje loves to play the double bass. In the meantime you can always make her happy with... brownies! Ansje feels that when children start playing the flute at a young age, they achieve a very natural, rhythmical, well intone & incorporated kind of playing.
