A FEW THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT ME

I have no memory of me not playing the piano. (weird, right?)

​

I learned to read music before reading words.

​

I love to improvise when no one is listening. 

​

I am passionate about film scoring.  I need to do more of that. 

​

I have a love-hate relationship with performing.  Working on the love part. 

​

I studied at Mannes College of Music Prep Division for 8 years, Juilliard School Prep Division for 4, and got a Bachelor of Music (BM) from Oberlin Conservatory.

​

My real work at the piano came when I was pointed in the direction of the Taubman Approach to the piano due to my bout with Repetitive Strain Injuries at the piano.

​

It was the best thing that could have happened to me as a musician

I study now with Robert Durso in NYC.

​

I am a breast cancer survivor.

​

I call my mom every day.

​

Going back to the piano after a 12 year hiatus was like falling in love all over again.

​

The lessons I learn at the bench are endless, so I decided to start writing them down.
