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.

Re: Week 1: Taking your first steps!
@Vidhya Bashyam So many great pieces to choose from! Well done listening to the whole set! Arietta is a great choice! Op. 12 is a very nice introduction to Grieg.

Re: Read Me and FAQ
I think I will dive into to the infamous op 54. I play Notturno from time to time. I've played March of the Dwarfs a long time ago (Those octave jumps are not easy!).…
