Here is a short example of piano performance. The idea here is to show the continuous flow of the finished thing.

Note: To maintain good quality video this short clip is above average in file size and will probably buffer the first time played. If this happens, just let it run and click the play button again. It will be much smoother the second time through.

In the mean time, feel free to use the form below to ask something and get clarification. Use the Details/other information section. You can also get information regarding a live appearance and fee structures, with absolutely no obligation. It's always a good idea to be informed and know what it is you're paying for. When it comes to performances, and teaching for that matter, having the same diploma or degree doesn't necessarily mean one has the same skill level. That goes for handling people too, not just the piano.
Let me first answer two common questions I get asked all the time. Yes, I do play Christmas songs; and yes, I do play cocktail piano with love songs and jazz standards. I do my own arrangements, and I like to fill the space with the piano.
