Wim Laseroms

 

Wim Laseroms (1944) started playing snare drum at the age of four after having been made enthusiastic by his father. From the age of eight he also started playing the accordion and became a percussion section member of the fanfare band from Bosschenhoofd, the same band he would be conducting many years on from the age of 21! The logical step was to study music professionally. Wim graduated from the conservatories of Tilburg and Rotterdam having studied music education and band conducting. His most prominent band conducting professors were Henk van Lijnschooten and Rocus van Yperen. From 1970 on he initially taught music at high schools and from 1976 to 2005 he was a full-time music consultant for elementary schools. Being a wind band and fanfare band conductor, he started composing in 1971. Besides some concert pieces, he mainly wrote marching music repertoire. On his resume, that consists of over 130 authorised titles, also solo pieces for various orchestral sections with band accompaniment have a prominent place. Besides his teaching, conducting and composing activities, Wim is still an active jury member for band contests and examiner for national organisations.
