Some of my teachers have included, Bela Nagy (Boston University), Seth Carlin (Washington University in St. Louis), Guy Urban, and A. Cole (Brown University). Over the years, I've continued to study music theory and teach piano.
Master classes include study with internationally renowned pianists Gyorgy Sebok (WA) and Bela Nagy (OR, I was a student performer).
