"I must say that I am totally thrilled with your fantastic work at the conference today, and even more, after I went to your website. If I knew you were one of those "wanted" teachers, I would have asked you a lot more questions."

----Kui Min, presenter College Music Society National Conference (Atlanta)

.....Your recital was one to be savored long after the last note faded away.....The power point presentation during "John Brown and Blue" was especially moving and your performance of the Copland Piano Sonata was absolutely breathtaking. The masterclass you conducted was absolutely superb. Thank you for a truly inspiring class for those student who participated as well as those of us in the audience.

REVIEW OF “Essential Two-Piano Repertoire”

“. . .These fantastic pieces are not usually found in print….included are works by CPE Bach, Brhams, Mozart and Schumann as well as lesser-known composers such as Anon Arensky, Reynaldo Hahn, Emil Kronke and Johann mattheson.  The music ranges from short waltzes to longer concertos and is thoroughtly edited, wich each grace note, turn or fingering expained and wriiten in the score.  All of these works are worthy for recital or festival performances.”-----CLAVIER Magazine, November 2005
