Testimonials

"All of your years encouraging and feeding David's love of piano and composing are really coming home to roost now, Ed. He is looking to do either a joint degree in a music conservatory and an undergrad degree in some liberal arts subject (avaialble at a few places like Oberlin), or go to a liberal arts school that has a very strong jazz program. We'll keep you posted on this as you have been such a key part of his musical development. I, literally, wouldn't have known how to help him become a musician, but you were instrumental (no pun intended) in it."

Ed Mascari, Pianist

Ed Mascari's performance experience
After 15 years of playing electric keyboards including the Hammond B-3 organ, I changed my focus to playing solo piano. Following 4 years of performing many restaurant and club engagements and solo concerts, I played the grandpiano at the Radisson Hotel in Milford for 14 years.
I also continue to play both piano and organ every Sunday (since 1981) at the Hartford Street Presbyterian Church.
