Yves Storms told us the following:
"The way in which one says, sings or plays something can strike a sensitive chord. Only then does one realise that apparent simplicity is resonance. The vibration finds an echo. And, above all, enjoy it whenever this happens. Simplicity gives rise to trust through transparency and openness.

And ... because I love simplicity.

Music is my life. I feel music in everyday things. I hear, feel, and scent it. It colours my life. I convert music into images and images into music. Music is a natural necessity for me. It gives me peace and it gives me energy. It makes me reflect. It has become a philosophy for me. After more than five decades of sharing my life with it I find that it has enabled me to pursue more effectively the unending quest for beauty.

I invite you to listen to my CD recordings via streaming websites.

My childhood journeys included playing the harpsichord, organ, renaissance lute, baroque lute, romantic guitar until in the end I gave the guitar my vote and my love.
Studying and acquiring information about six centuries of music, with all the differences in style periods and performing practice, makes plucking the guitar a lot more interesting, as well as being the final distillation of what I really want to say.

I studied at the Conservatories of Antwerp (Belgium) and The Hague (Netherlands).
Many musicians and guitarists have coloured and enriched my life. Encounters with an audience after concerts around the world have immerse me in other cultures, and this results time and again in sensory refinement.

I taught at the Conservatories of Antwerp for 15 years and Ghent (Belgium) for 25 years.
Helping your students to find their own way of expressing themselves is, I find, an excellent approach to teaching.
I love it immensely."

Yves Storms was twice awarded First Price in international contests of classic guitar: the “Oscar Espla” price in 1977, & the “Andrès Segovia” price in 1979.
His repertoire covers all styles and periods from the Renaissance and Baroque to contemporary compositions for guitar.
