Richard is currently a doctoral student in collaborative piano at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) where he was a recipient of a Hayes Fellowship. His past education includes an MM in piano performance from UNCG and a BFA in piano performance through the Robert E. Cook Honors College at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP). In addition to this degree-related study, he has spent nearly a year at the University of Zagreb, Croatia. Richard has extensive experience as an accompanist for numerous recitals with every major instrument and voice type. He has worked as a rehearsal and performance pianist for operas, and as a musical director/accompanist for musicals. His development was also marked by more sporadic experience in the choral, sacred, and pop music genres. In demand as a private instructor in the area, Richard has taught dozens of students at multiple locations. Richard enjoys traveling and has performed in various capacities in Australia, Austria, Croatia, and Italy. He participated at the American Institute of Musical Studies in Graz, Austria during the summer of 2010 where he received coaching in the German language as well as piano. When away from the piano, Richard is probably learning how to better manage his investments, both stocks and real estate, or studying languages.
