TEACHING

Following years in university environments, serving on the faculties of Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music and the University of California Santa Barbara, I currently work with students in a wide variety of settings. These include private lessons, masterclasses, special workshops, coachings, consultations for upcoming auditions and competitions, and online lessons.

MASTERCLASSES & LECTURES

Meeting piano students around the world is always a great joy. I've offered performance masterclasses in schools such as the Cleveland Institute, Peabody Institute, Oberlin Conservatory, New York University, Princeton University, and in universities in Korea, Japan, Israel, England, Canada and more. Exploring a range of interests through lectures, favorite topics have included interpretive challenges in Beethoven’s Sonatas, the art of performing the Diabelli Variations, and the use of the piano in contemporary music.

PODCASTS

I produced the “Classical Minutes” podcasts for musicians, students, performers and listeners who study, enjoy and live with great music.  In a series of 100 brief and engaging shows, these podcasts explore a wide array of topics related to being a classical pianist today, and offer invaluable information in an easily accessible format.  The central focus is on the wonderful and unique challenges of interpreting great masterpieces and bringing them to today's audiences.
