Sort of an “all-round pianist”. I specialized in popular music and jazz in my education, but have focused mostly on classical in later years. I do some occasional arranging and composing.

@Juan Carlos Olite You are welcome! Grieg arranged this suite for both piano solo and four hand piano! So these pieces are great to play with a friend as well.…

@Vidhya Bashyam So beautiful playing! Giving the music the breathing it needs, and bringing out the soaring melody delicately.

Re: Week 3: Telling your Tale!
@Randall Wayne Very nice playing of two great pieces! Just letting you know that the titles are switched up, so the first piece is Solitary Traveler and the second piece Watchman's song.

@Jennifer Mehta @Vidhya Bashyam Thank you Jennifer and Vidhya! Yes, the piano can imitate so many different sounds and feelings, and I think that comes out really well in this opus.
