During the month of June, 2000, I taught at the Bösendorfer
International Piano Academy in Vienna. I took five of my students
who studied with Prof. Wolfgang Watsinger and Prof. Krassimira
Jordan.
After three weeks of intensive practice and lessons, we visited Prague,
Budapest, and while I was on a concert tour of Greece,
the students traveled to Salzburg.
