Re: June Recital! @Peter Golemme oooooh- I’m a jazz guy in addition to my classical side. I love improvisation on standards (mostly ballades, swing and rag). I can’t hang with the bebop guys!

Hi everyone! I’m a professional educator, entering my 23rd year of teaching. I double majored in piano and trumpet, and minored in voice. I love all classical and jazz genres. I am thrilled to be here! I often go “live” on TikTok and sight read requests. Stop in if you see me.
