PIANO MUSIC
My piano music utilizes conventional aesthetics and techniques found throughout canonical keyboard repertoire. It has been my joy to compose works that are practical and engaging. Stylistic accessibility, idiomatic keyboard writing, and musical eclecticism are three distinctive hallmarks of my piano compositions. Hopefully, I have composed piano music that appeals to students, teachers, amateurs, and virtuosos alike.
​
Some of my piano music has been recognized in competitions, including the New York City Contemporary Music Symposium- Call for Scores (Three Inventions-FINALIST) and New York City's Locrian Chamber Players- Call for Scores (Five Pages From A City Journal-WINNER). My piano music falls into 3 categories: 1) Easy piano music (early intermediate to early advanced), 2) neoclassical works, 3) eclectic-contemporary works. Additionally, I have also composed collaborative works/chamber music with piano and a Concerto for piano and string orchestra. Below you will find links to SHEETMUSICDIRECT to purchase scores.
