                                          Ed Schots

                                          Resume

                                          Ed Schots started his musical career in his native country, the Netherlands, in 1989 studying Jazz Performance on saxophone at the Royal Conservatorium, The Hague, and bass guitar at the Rotterdam Conservatorium. Whilst studying he had the great fortune to play with artists such as Dizzie Gillespie and Pat Metheny and subsequently formed several highly succesful jazz, rock and soul ensembles.

                                          In 1993 he moved to Australia and continued his performance career in various Sydney ensembles – ‘United Notions’, ‘Honeydripper’, 'Heart’n Soul', ‘What Is Hip’ and ‘Enormous Horns’ to name a few – and expanded his field to include performing in show orchestras - ‘Miss Saigon’ and ‘Crazy for You’.

                                          Ed is currently active with groups such as ‘Bump City’, ‘Big Old Bus’, ‘That Funny Brass Band’ and ‘Bellhops’ and is sought after as a freelance musician in the Sydney music scene. Ed’s instrumental skills include doubling on clarinet, bass clarinet and flute.

                                          Ed’s tuition experience spans more than two decades and combines a strong technical methodology with development of musicality in both classical and contemporay music styles. He completed a Masters in Performance at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in 2013.
