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as well as the study of chord progressions in all keys and emphasis on correct stylistic interpretations based on historical references.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.
