and have played as an extra in the San Francisco Symphony.

I have taught piano lessons for over thirty years, and my students have gone on to perform at Carnegie Hall, and won various competitions. I was private piano instructor at the Nueva School in Hillsborough, CA for 13 years, and have given master classes throughout the United States. I teach and coach chamber music and accompanying, as well as solo piano performance.
