I invite intermediate to advanced pianists of any age to call for a complimentary interview and evaluation. My approach to technique has proven particularly effective in solving technical difficulties and reducing tension and or pain in performance. I am as interested in working with the serious amateur as the conservatory-bound student. "Playing the piano is easy and it doesn't hurt."
