@mytchilla Thanks for the compliment. Working with Jennifer was a real pleasure, because, with her, I serve as "collaborator", not just, "accompanist".

About this user

Thanks for visiting my YouTube Channel. I am fortunate enough to make my living doing what I love to do most: sharing my work as a pianist in live performances and through recorded media like YouTube. I am based in Rockville, MD, and I'm available for bookings world wide. I'm not just a soloist. I do a lot of work as a collaborative pianist, and when it comes my way, I really enjoy doing studio work. You can find samples of all these aspects of my work here at RockvillePianoGuy. Robert Dick, Flutist, Composer and inventor of the Glissando Headjoint®, calls me "the pianist who listens".

The current focus of my work as a soloist is the first of a series of programs featuring pieces from "The Golden Age of the Piano," many rarely heard, to be performed in recital as well as recorded. I was extremely fortunate to have been accepted as a student by David Saperton in the last months of his life in New York City. I absolutely loved his playing. Experiencing his playing in the intimacy of his studio was, for me, an initiation into a way of playing the piano that had been lost as well as an introduction to a genre of wonderfully beautiful and interesting music that had fallen out of fashion. I want, as much as it is possible, to bring the experience of that type of music and music making to contemporary audiences. I truly love that music, and when and wherever I have shared it with people, they have responded with great enthusiasm.

I've performed as a soloist across the U.S., Europe, and Asia in recitals. I've been a performing participant in master classes with Peter Feuchtwanger and Leon Fleisher. In Spring 2009, I performed as featured soloist with The Mantovani Orchestra on their Spring tour of China.

I'm also recognized for my work as an accomplished and sensitive collaborator, working with singers and instrumentalists in concerts around the greater Washington, DC area. In July 2010 I returned for my third year on staff as a coach at the Crittenden Summer Opera Studio in Chevy Chase, MD. In April 2011 I join Soprano, Mary Gresock, in an opera outreach program for Ash Lawn Opera.

I hold degrees from Boston University (B.M.) and East Carolina University (M.M.), and I've studied with Peter Feuchtwanger, Lily Kraus, David Saperton, Ward Davenny, Bela Nagy and chamber music with Artur Balsam.

I was an Instructor of Music and Staff Accompanist at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia where I accompanied recitals and appeared as a soloist with the University Wind Ensemble playing George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue and Igor Stravinsky's Concerto for Piano and Winds.
