Student Profile

Richard Frank
Adult Program

NMS provides an environment for me that supports my unique schedule and repertoire interests. The renowned teaching staff continues to help me reach my performance potential. At NMS, I am encouraged and given the opportunity to perform publicly in recitals and competitions. I have also been invited to participate in Mary Sauer's Masterclass series.

My personal teacher, Susan Merdinger, is able to demonstrate performance with exceptional beauty and artistry. Susan provides a comprehensive analysis of musical structure, accent, voicing, rhythm, harmony and interpretation, and has helped me achieve the fingering and phrasing for the most complicated musical passages. 

I am thankful to both my teacher and educators at NMS who inspire me and encourage me to be an active member of their Musical family.
