A little about myself:


Having played the piano for more than 20 years, and studying through A.M.E.B. , I achieved L.Mus level of piano and began teaching casually, as well as performing occasionally in public in various locations, (Sydney Opera House and several competitions). I am experienced and dedicated to make playing the piano an enjoyable experience. I help students get out of their bad technical habits from incorrect training or self taught students.

I like to hear from everyone to share ideas and to talk about playing the piano and music in general :)

I love your playing so much, I never knew you could get such a nice sound on a Yamaha upright- it sounds like a kawai. I've been to many piano solo concerts in Sydney over the years, but I haven't heard anyone play the piano like you- that arrangement of Mozart's Alla Turka is amazing !! Why don't you make use of your talent and get out into the community and go and perform rather than isolating yourself and just teaching. You have something special to offer so share it with everyone!

It's not bad, but others can play it better, and at the time I recorded this my piano was badly out of tune : (
After summer holidays I plan to start adding some more videos, but of easy listening piano music. Recently I started improvising on popular music and enjoying it : ) People seem to enjoy listening to that easy piano more so that's more or less what I'll focus on. Technically demanding pieces require lots of practice and I'd rather spend my time learning more musical pieces that people enjoy listening to.
If you're interested in those show pieces, you can listen to pianists such as Volodos and Hamelin, that's their specialty.
