Piano, Theory, Technique, Performance

My mission is to provide piano training for all ages. I hold a M.M. from Manhattan School of Music and a BA in Music/Piano Performance from Brooklyn College, CUNY. I have taught classical piano for over 30 years and performed in Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music and many venues. Professional performances include solo recitals, accompanist, chamber music, ensemble work, music consultation and editing for professional and amateur figure skaters.

My corporate career is in broadcast television in NY, NE, PA and Arizona. This is unique as I have high communication skills which translates to understanding the methods I must use to develop an effective student/teacher relationship to bring successful results.

My lessons include theory, ear training and historical understanding of the period as these elements are as necessary as "playing the piano".

One of the greatest joys in life is self expression and I will work with you to achieve your goal.
