I am a concert pianist in Hampton looking to share my music and ideas with others. Maybe a music get together every now and again. I had been living on a boat for about three years after relocating from Colorado. And I say "had been", as in past tense due to the fact that I recently sank my boat. But I'm still smiling, probably due to the fact I had insurance and they will hopefully pay for the repairs. To answer your first question, yes I had a piano on the boat. The boat didn't go down far enough for it to get wet. Of that I find myself thankful.
If you want an idea of some of the music I enjoy you can visit my web site. (bruceprattjr.com) But basically baroque, classical, romantic, and early impressionism sum it up. I rather like small form but that is only at this moment. I hope to meet other artist in the area to learn from each other, maybe give a few lessons if I found the right person(s).I value my time imensely and cringe at the thought of teaching someone who deosn't feel the need to practice what they learn. From my own experience you really only teach yourself and know matter how proficient the teacher, ideas falling on deaf ears die there. A teachers job is simply to point out and show new ideas and possibilities to the student. It is the students job to apply what they have been taught.
They have just opened a new coffee shop on 1A in hampton. As far as a possible place to have initial meetings that may be an idea. Although it may take some covincing to have them bring in a piano. I'm sure I could work something out. By the way I should also point out my feeling that a good teacher often learns as much from the student as vice-versa. I have always found that interesting. Well if you have stumbled upon this, have and interest, and would like to chat feel free to post you comments.
