Biography and career

After lessons at the music school of Delft, where his father was director Pierre van Hauwe, Hauwe studied recorder with Frans Brüggen at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague. Working with Kees Boeke he developed a controversial education system called the BLOK (block) system.[1] He has been a professor of recorder at the Sweelinck Conservatory since 1971, and also teaches historical performance at the Royal College of Music.[2]

In 2002 he received the Dutch Prins Bernard Music Award.

Hauwe has performed or worked with Quadro Hotteterre, Little Consort, Sour Cream, and Maarten Altena Ensemble. He has recorded for Telefunken, Vanguard, Columbia-Denon, RCA, CBS, Attacca and Channel Classics/Moeck.

He is the author of The Modern Recorder Player, published by Schott.[3]
