ABOUT
My primary instrument is piano. I've trained under a student of Ron
Turini (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Turini), who was one of only three students of the late Vladimir Horowitz. I've been perfecting my classical style, but due to a broken hand, I have spent the past year unable to perform. I used to play drums and bass, but it has been about 10 years since I've played. Although I know that I can pick it back up easily. I played with the Yarmouth Chamber Orchestra for about 7 years, starting as Timpanist, then lead percussion, followed by pianist. It has been over 5 years since my last gig, due to my studies, but I have played well over a hundred concerts. I'm not entirely certain what I would like to do, but I expect the musicians that I perform with to be perfectionists and advanced performers.

In my early piano studies, I concentrated on Gershwin and the standard classical repertoires. For about 10 years I've been intently focused on Rachmaninoff.
