Instruments taught: piano and harp
Education: BA from University of Southern Colorado; Artists
Diploma and graduate studies from Juilliard School of Music.
Professional experience: Extensive performing career as
soloist and chamber musician with major recitals in Carnegie Hall,
Lincoln Center, Brooklyn Museum, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum etc.
Founding member of the Rameau Trio with which I recorded an
extensive set of critically acclaimed baroque chamber music recordings
for MMO records. Winner of the 1975 International Chamber Music
Competition at Lincoln Center. Decades of private teaching
experience.
Teaching style and emphasis: children of all levels preferred
though I will take beginning adults on the harp and advanced adults on
the piano by audition and interview. I teach traditional piano
repertoire and technique with emphasis on tone production by relaxed
weight, systematic technical development through scales, arpeggios and
selected studies, theory through printed material as well as the study
of chord progressions in all keys and emphasis on correct stylistic
interpretations based on historical references. I also supplement
with computer programs such as the Music Ace and Auralia Ear Training
programs. In addition to standard private lessons, I also offer chamber music
classes and recital/audition coaching. I teach out of my home
studio on a well maintained Mason & Hamlin grand piano tuned and
regulated to concert artist standards. I believe that musical
enrichment through private lessons is unequaled in its ability to
empower the human spirit and develops an unprecedented cache of lasting
benefits in many areas of personal growth.
