A Note from Angelo:

I believe if a student puts their mind to it, much is possible. As a young pianist I was truly inspired by a wide variety of performers from the inimitable Glenn Gould to Vladimir Horowitz as well as composers such as Maurice Ravel, Duke Ellington and George Gershwin. My hope is to attempt to pass on what great education, beauty, wonder and enthusiasm was given to me throughout my life with respect and gratitude to the wonderful world of music. Each student is unique and has each their own way of learning. In doing we find what may be done! Let’s advance ourselves!
