About Me

I'm a concert pianist, musical director for theater productions and piano instructor at Manatee Community College and privately in my home. I have been playing the piano since the age of two and a half and my mother was my first piano teacher. At the age of seven I was accepted into the Juilliard Pre-College Division in New York City and later graduated from the Juilliard School. I have performed as a soloist in Carnegie Recital Hall and Alice Tully Hall in New York City as well as in many other concert halls across the country. I have a beautiful Yamaha Disklavier Piano in my home and have made two recordings for Yamaha: one for Yamaha's Pianosoft Plus Audio Series and one for Virtuoso Software Series (CD's that play the disklavier piano with life-like key and pedal movements as if the pianist were seated at the keyboard.) I have lived in many different parts of the United States...Bainbridge Island Washington, Lenox Massachusetts, New Milford Connecticut, Kansas City Missouri, Knoxville Tennessee and now Bradenton Florida. I look forward to making new friends on Anything Arts and keeping old ones.
