James A. Norkawich is infatuated with his work. He practices the piano, performs in front of people, or composes music nearly every waking hour of the day. Unfortunately, jazz and classical piano are no match for his instrument mastery.

As a classically trained pianist, he has performed pieces by some of the world's most renowned composers. He is well-versed in the music of Bach and Vivaldi, both of the Baroque Era. Other notable musicians he has collaborated with include Beethoven, Mozart, and Haydn. Other famous composers he has studied include Frederic Chopin, Claude Debussy, and Johann Sebastian Bach. To him, exposure to as many composers as possible is critical for professional pianists. As a result, kids can develop their talents in various musical styles.
