About Me
I have been playing the piano since the first grade and have not stopped yet. I have played in concerts, accompanied violinists and opera singers throughout my career and I specialize in children. I love to start them fresh before any bad habits are formed. To play the piano uses both sides of the brain. It takes about three years before a student starts doing all six things at one time. A right hand, and a left hand playing something totally different, a dynamic, a note, a count, and the petal. When that happens for the first time it is like Helen Keller learning her first word. IT is AWESOME! They become mathematical wizards and can solve problems throughout life very easily. That is what music does for our brains.

My Musical Influences
My musical influences come from going to children's concerts when I was a child and my mother loving music. She always had music in the house growing up and we had friends who were pianists who always came to the house to play. I embraced all of that and love passing my love for music to others. Playing a concert with Mickey Rooney and I. Pertman are some highlights of my life.
