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: Will's Practice Diary
@Will Green Sounded a bit like something Rachmaninoff could have written in my ears. Some wonderful harmonies and melodies there. Beautifully played! Glad to see you are back on the forum!
