A Tradition of Great Teachers & Students

I was fortunate to receive extraordinary musical instruction from accomplished international performers who were direct students and teaching protégés of Alfred Cortot, Nadia Boulanger, and Abby Whiteside. 

I also studied with major students and protégés of Heinrich Schenker and Arnold Schoenberg, whose understanding and insight into the inner workings of music—the "musical logic" of the great composers—were without equal, so that I may best communicate the deepest experience, understanding, and joy of the music to my students.
