Workshop Testimonials
Thanks so much for your excellent presentation about Gottschalk at Friday’s Forum meeting. You had the perfect combination of words and music. I thoroughly enjoyed your mini-recital—it was quite impressive.

I have now finally discovered what truly is the best thing since sliced bread—YOU. You are wonderful. Thank-you for giving a fine workshop, full of great performing, teaching tips, and history. If I was a fly on your studio wall, I bet you are a dynamite teacher.

Your contribution to the NCMTA Contest Workshop in Raleigh was simply splendid! I regret that I didn’t get to speak to you afterward, but I want you to know that I thought your playing and commentary hit the top, and I know that others were equally impressed and grateful!

Thank you so much for your contribution… You play so beautifully and the students are lucky to hear such musicality and skill on a weekly basis. I am appreciative and blessed to have you as colleague and friend.

I’ve been fascinated from your sensible and extremely expressive touch. And more: thanks to your performance, I discovered an amazing repertoire I didn’t know, your “American Originals”. Joplin, Barber, sure… but, first of all, an impressive Gottschalk! He was actually and easily composing a completely new music, in the very same years when European composers were painfully trying to find a “new begin”, an after-Beethoven-era… your Gottschalk has been really impressive, a revelation to me.
A.T., Porto Recanati, Italy
Your exceptional skill and artistry as a musician, your obvious command of the literature, your intellectual involvement with the music, your musicological accomplishments, and your delightful sense of humor all contributed to leave a very positive, lasting, and pleasing impression.
