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.

@Marc M What a gorgeous piece! I love the floating nature, and beautiful harmonies of it. Well done so far! Looking forward to the next video. (I'm also familiar with fishing for notes 😂)

@Gail Starr Amazing work, Gail! This is a perfect fit! I love the sparkling and joyful sound of this piece, and your technique seems to be built for it. How you’re bouncing so lightly on the keyboard.…

@Juan Carlos Olite So heartfelt and beautifully sung! I wonder what was going on in Rachmaninoff's life when he wrote this. Looking forward to hear how you will take this further.
