Présentation: travaux et (ou) intérêts (Presentation: works and (or) interests)

I am known, mostly, as a composer of music of piano music for children - graded music from pre grade 1 to concert music for the instrument. I have had my music performed all over North America and Europe.

I am also interested in the history of the piano and I am a piano technician.
