A nice 30 min demo reel by Dorothy with piano and vocal (no keyboard) from May 2014



Hire Dorothy through Gigmasters.com or GigSalad.com to play for your function, live! She'll take requests on site or by email in advance for your birthday, wedding, corporate function or practically any event where light piano and vocal rather than a noisy bass pounding DJ is required. DJ overkill is a big problem these days. Piano is perfect.

Dorothy's students Akil and NIkil, Isant, Alan and Nate uploaded to Yoututbe this weekend!

Congratulations to Akil, Nikil, Alan, Isant and Nate for playing to camera this weekend in Dorothy's studio. They all did fabulous and it's rewarding for teachers Rick and Dorothy to see everyone working with the knowledge and tools they have to make musical language happen. What follows is a Youtube Playlist with advance and reverse controls that any Youtube fan knows how to work. Enjoy! (Access to student videos is linked at the top of this page under "student youtubes").  To our students... great job! You're on track!
