Below are excerpts from some of my best student recital performances. The last video is a montage of some of my beginning students.
Travis performing Sarabande from Pour le Piano by Claude Debussy. Travis is currently studying at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore.
Ethan performing Autumn Leaves by Joseph Kosma and Johnny Mercer. This classic tune is a great way to practice improvising over typical jazz chord progressions.
Raimy performing Prelude in E Minor by Frederic Chopin. A passionate and popular work that requires great sensitivity from the performer.
Sinan performing Peetie Wheatstraw Stomp, by Peetie Wheatstraw. The left hand has to work hard in pieces like this that use the “stride” technique.
Alexandra performing Waltz Intermezzo by Dmitri Kabalevsky. Kabalevsky's compositional voice is a unique combination of 20th century classical sensibility and Russian folk influence.
