"I was a private student of Mrs. Clarfield all throughout highschool. I attended the New England Conservatory of Music, and graduated with my Bachelors in Piano performance.Most recently, I graduated from the Harvard Graduate School of Education with my Masters in Arts in Education. Performing and teaching are very important and fulfilling aspects of my life. I recently relocated to New York City, in hopes of pursuing both. I currently have an album out of my original compositions for piano and band (sax, drums, bass, others), which is more in the third stream character (third stream being a mixture of the first 2 streams, classical and jazz).  I'm currently working towards my second album, just recorded in June in Boston.  I'm also part of a metal band (yes, metal), as a singer (kind of like Evanescence), and my current passions involve songwriting for the piano and voice.  Please stay in touch, if you have any questions, or if you're ever in NYC to see a gig.  You can also check out my websites and listen to some tracks:  www.dreea.com for the metal tunes as well as bio, and tracks from the first CD.  The second site, www.sonicbids.com/andreeapauta contains new band information, with some excerpts from the second album (yet to be released). Also, you may email me at dreea@hotmail.com.  Looking forward to hearing from all of you! "
