Biography

I am a historical keyboardist passionate about eighteenth-century music history and theory. While an undergraduate at New York University, I became fascinated with historical approaches to improvisation and keyboard pedagogy. I continued my graduate work at the Yale School of Music in harpsichord performance. There, I wrote my thesis on a galant schema I identified in repertoire from the baroque period and beyond. My PhD research will focus on George Frideric Handel’s keyboard music, using schema theory and other modes of analysis to gain new insights into Handel’s musical “voice” at the keyboard and to adapt a pedagogy for recreating music in his style. I aim to make repertoire from the past more accessible to audiences and students by highlighting common harmonic elements between the music of the early modern period and the present day.
