I serendipitously ran into Jock a few months back; I had last seen him when I was a high school student 30 years ago. I had taken lessons from Jock from the time I was about 10 until I was 16 or 17. Well, to make a long story short, I've started taking lessons again! I can't begin to say how much I am enjoying studying the piano again. I've kept up with the piano on my own over the years, playing with a few groups, doing some accompaniment work, and even doing some teaching of own. Taking lessons again is such a joy - I'm working at a higher level than I ever have, and am getting such wonderful instruction and critique from Jock. He has such wonderful insights with the dynamics and style of each piece and I learn something new each time I come. I would highly recommend him both as a teacher and as a wonderful, warm human being!
