Additional Info:	I only teach on Master Class level, during Festivals and Organ Academies and on special occasions. Some of my special interests are Baroque music and the Organ Music of César Franck, but also organ music at large. I specifically concenstrate on performance principles based on analysis of the composer's score and musical langue as hidden and imbedded in his/her musical score (going beyond the notes). Criteria for stylstic performances such as the composer's harmonic, melodic, rhythmic language and the musical structure serve as guiding performing forces. Also, criteria for responsibe, effetive rubato undelrying the true message of the composer and his/her idiosyncratic musical style, is one of my main focuses. I also do occasional instruction, for example, prepraring prospective organists for upcoming exams, eisteddfods, recitals and competitions. This should take place at the beginning stages of studying the music to be performed ("prevention is better than cure"), followed up later by a few more finishing sessions. Teachers should preferably be present as well during all stages of instruction.
Fees:	Money is not my first concern. All negoitable.
Will Teach:	Intermediate Grades, Advanced Grades, Diploma / Higher Levels
