Playing solo is difficult because you have to keep the momentum yourself. You have to continue to create and develop, so it forces you to stretch in a variety of ways.

I remember coming home from school - I couldn't wait to get to the piano so I could play and practice.

Every performance is different, but I try to approach them in the same way and give it my all.

I really do enjoy accompanying people - it's a challenge and a joy when you get it right.

My mother gave me a choice. She said, 'Would you like to take singing lessons or piano.' I'm glad I chose piano.

The piano is like an orchestra - I'm very fortunate that I chose it as my instrument.
