Brian
specializes in programs and workshops for: American

300 years of song styles, changing cultures and
colorful personalities, performed and taught with
“cool,” interactive formulas and with
doses of humor, mischief and multi-media ingenuity
to spice the process: buggy to boogie, minstrel

Therapy: interactive music performances
for senior citizens in all stages of elder care,
packaged with Brian’s piano artistry,
musical vigor and contagious congeniality.
