Where contemporary meets classical
on: January 31, 2004, 03:33:03 AM
I am a 23 year old MBA student in Nashville who has been classically training on the piano since age 4.

I just released my first CD, and samples can be heard at my website, www.bradleymetrock.com.

I would love feedback from aficionados of the instrument, such as yourselves, on the music.  Playing the piano is what I love to do, and I hope you enjoy what you hear on the site.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

you certainly have a very polished sound, you obviously know exactly what you want

Thank you.  What I want is to get my music "out there" and for people to enjoy it.  Hopefully, if members of this forum like what they hear, some might look at purchasing my album.

If not, thanks for your time...I certainly appreciate you taking a moment to look over my site and listen to a song or two!

Nice pieces.

Are there scores available? If not, have you thought of commercialising them as well as the CD? I for one would be interested.

I also noticed that your method of payment is by cheque in US dollars. what about people who do not live in the USA? (a lot of us in this forum)

Best wishes

Thank you so much for taking the time to write me back.

I have not considered marketing any scores to the music thus far.  If the album sells well, I would certainly consider it.  With the album just coming out this week, I'm focusing right now primarily just on that.

Payment with international checks would not be a problem.  If you simply convert $12 ($10 for the CD + $2 shipping) into your particular country's denomination, I can handle the rest.  In fact, the $2 for shipping really represents domestic shipping cost, but I would be more than happy to bear any additional cost in getting a copy to you.

I'm glad you liked what you heard!!  Thank you again for posting here and, should you decide you would like to buy a copy, I am very grateful.
