In celebration of 60 years of excellence in piano teaching and learning at NSMS, we invite you to attend a very special recital, featuring performances by NSMS alumni faculty. Join us on Saturday, November 21st at 8:00PM ET. As we countdown to the recital, we will profile each performer.
When were you at NSMS, and what was your role?
I was at NSMS 2009-2011. The first year, I completed the postgraduate fellowship, and during my second year, I was on faculty and was in charge of Public Relations.
What are you doing now?
I am the founder and Executive Director of New Tampa Piano and Pedagogy Academy. I teach pre-college, college, and adult students, train new faculty, and develop programs.
What is your favorite memory from your time at NSMS?
I enjoyed watching Marvin teach the group classes enormously! I also enjoyed the time I spent interviewing Louis Goss while writing my dissertation on her, and learning about the founding blocks of the New School from her perspective. I cherish the friendships developed during my time there. Finally, I loved playing at Carnegie Hall with my colleagues.
How has NSMS impacted your teaching and your life?
The training I received at NSMS, by Louise Goss but mainly by Amy Glennon, have shaped the way I teach not only piano, but now, because of COVID, my daughter's second grade curriculum at home. What I learned at NSMS has shaped the way I practice piano and how I look at learning as a whole.
What will you be playing for the recital?
Danzon "Legrand" by Andres Alen.
