Reviews of My Playing

About Me

 My passion for music is propelled from my love of the piano and the collaboration of musicians. I enjoy performing, teaching, collaborating, and writing about music. Performing is my way of expressing myself, leading without having to actually speak, but speaking through my playing. I especially like working with vocalists and instrumentalists because of the interplay between

the musical lines and the connection that is formed from the preparation and presentation of the music. In my playing I strive to effectively portray the emotions concealed in the score and to add my own interpretation and story.
