Background and Experience

In 1988, Johannes discovered and developed his unique style of whistling to classical and/or popular music. He also discovered, but not yet developed (for reasons of priority), his latent potential as a composer. His repertoire comprises more than twenty-eight hours, stretching from classical composers, such as tunes from Suppe, Rossini, Mozart, Brahms and Schumann to contemporary musical works and interpretations by musicians, such as Liberace, Cleyderman, Wunderlich, Bota, Piacentino etc.



Johannes' repertoire even includes traditional ethnic music, such as Italian, Spanish, Vietnamese, Arabic, Russian gypsy tunes and may be extended to suit your specific requirements. The late conductor of the Sydney Symphonic Orchestra granted Johannes infinite permission to perform to tourists at the Sydney Opera House.

Breaking News...

At this very moment Johannes is busy writing a couple more philosophical books/ guides, titled "Grandpa's Insight"; a practical self-tutor for young people, who thus far, only enjoyed philosophical guidance from their peers, from googling the Internet, rock music lyrics etc. and miss or resent the philosophical guidance of their parents and grandparents.
