Piano Bites is a solo concert series I perform aiming particularly at young people and those learning the piano. I programme only pieces of 6 minutes and under covering a range of styles from 17th Century to Modern Day and include some great pieces of grade 4 standard and upwards to inspire players and show them that not all great piano music is technically difficult. I talk to the audience in an informal way during these concerts and take questions afterwards.
I have also just brought out the first Piano Bites CD. It is called Night Bird and contains works by Chopin, Ravel, J.S. Bach, Haydn, Chick Corea, Rachmaninov and Debussy. Please contact me if you would like one.
