Hi, I'm Farah Beal and I am a classical pianist.
I have played the piano every day of my life since the age of eleven(except when I was travelling and no piano was available) since the age of eleven.
I have concertised in Bombay, Stuttagart, New York and Boulder.
I still give public performances and also enjoy playing for reisdents of retirement communities.
They are thrilled that I play Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann and Brahms for them, and beg me to return, and keep giving recitals for them.
I also give piano lessons. I love teaching, and I love my sudents.
I have two student recitals a year.
In fact, teaching people to play the piano is not only my calling and my vocation, it is my mission in life.
The pianist who most enthralls me to-day is Nobuyuki Tsujii who was born blind!
Other pianists I love are Martha Argerich, Friedrich Gulda, Daniel Barenbaum,
Kissin, and Haochen Zhang, and of course the greats from the past, Rachmaninoff( who was a great pianist as well as a composer) Horowitz,
and Alfred Cortot.
My teacher Madame Olga Craen had been a student of Cortot at the Paris Concervatoire.
