I’m pleased to announce that my teaching studio will be bolstered by a variety of group classes, starting in October. Classes are offered in Guitar, Piano, and sightsinging, and will be offered in a variety of age groups.
Currently, the listed classes are designed for beginners, but depending on interest and ability, intermediate/advanced classes will be added as well. Group lessons offer a more social and affordable means of learning an instrument, and are a more relaxed approach than traditional 1-on-1 tuition. I encourage anyone that’s interested in learning music to get in touch!
My other piece of news is a short tour in the UK this October. Myself and an old chamber music partner from the Guildhall, Laurens Price-Nowak, are putting on a series of four cello and piano duo concerts, featuring the Brahms e minor and Shostakovich d minor sonatas.
The dates are:

St. James Sussex Gardens, London           St. Mary’s Church, Brighton
1PMÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 6PM
Friday, October 12th                          Saturday, October 13

7:30PMÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 3PM
Later this year, Laurens will be visiting me in the states and we’ll continue our collaboration with a further group of concerts in Oregon.
I’m also pleased to announce two public concerts when I return from England, featuring the soprano Zoé Laterreur. The first takes place on the 20th of October at the Hither Cafe in Ashland Oregon, from 4-6PM. The second concert is on the 4th of November at the Methodist Church of Ashland, at 1:30PM. There are more concerts in November and December which will be announced soon!
