I am extremely pleased to announce that Hugh Roman, one of my students and also one of your colleagues, will perform on the 2023 Honors Recital of the Alameda Branch MTAC (Music Teachers' Association of California) next Sunday, April 16, 2023, at 2:30 p.m.  He will perform Chopin's Prelude No. 15 ("Raindrop"), Op. 28, No. 15.

In addition to the Honors Recital, Hugh has also been invitied to perform at the MTAC Annual Convention this summer on the Contemporary Music Recital.  For this recital, Hugh will perform my Lyric Piece No. 1 (from a collection of Lyric Pieces - still being written!). 

We are all very proud, and equally humbled, that Hugh, as a representative of our piano studio, should be so recognized and honored for his achievements in musical excellence.  For those who are in town and available to attend the Honors Recital next Sunday, I invite you to come to support Hugh and enjoy the performances of all the wonderfully talented performers in our local branch of  the MTAC!  I have listed the venue information below.  Parking in the area is very limited, so I suggest you give ample time to arrive to find parking!

Though the setting is serious and formal, young and beginning students are most welcome to attend.  Indeed, hearing what peers are able to achieve also serves as inspiration and motivation for both the young and older to "reach for the stars".

I am very happy to announce that our piano studio will restart its traditional post CM and end-of-year recital this year.  Recitals have been postponed for the last several years due to the pandemic.  Now that things are returning to normal, we are preparing to hold the recital this year in Walnut Creek on June 3rd at 2:30 p.m.  Please mark this date on your calendars, and I hope all will be able to attend, perform, and enjoy a nice musical afternoon!

As some of you may know by now that I am a composer in addition to teaching piano and theory, I thought it would be interesting for you to keep abreast of my creative work.  Check out the link below to my website News page about a new piece of mine for amplified string quartet and electroacoustic devices to be released on the Navona record label later this year.  You will have acces to score, audio and information about the piece.  Enjoy!
