Playing the piano can be a solitary business, yet impossible without the dedicated support of many people, in many different forms.
Throughout my studies, I have been the lucky beneficiary of valuable guidance, advice, and criticism from outstanding teachers and mentors, colleagues and collaborators, friends and family. They have all helped shape my pianism and musicianship, sometimes in surprising ways.
Finally, through the goodness of many champions, I have the privilege of working with a suitable—and wonderful—instrument. Because of you, the GoFundMe campaign was a success, and the skinny keys are home!
Your heartfelt generosity has made possible an entire future.
