This is me!

About Me

Who am I? Well, my training from the age of 4 eventually led me to becoming a concert pianist as a soloist, chamber music player and accompanist for most of my life.

I recently recorded a CD consisting of 12 diverse piano pieces ranging from Mozart to Zez Confrey.

I also give PIANO LESSONS, mainly to adults and teenagers but would be happy to take on gifted children from about 10 years old.

Since moving to Swellendam in 2006 I have given several CONCERTS, both solo and as accompanist and future dates are being arranged.

I am a member of the Bahá'í Faith which is the central point of my life. I am a widow having lost my husband in April 1995. My beloved son, Mark, passed away in February 2008 aged 51 and my lovely daughter, Odette, lives in England. I have five beautiful grandchildren but sadly they also live in England and the opportunity to see them is not very frequent although I went over last year to attend a Bahá'í Summer School and was therefore able to be with all the members of my family over there. The improvement in communications nowadays is a great help and I am connected by Skype, email and other methods of internet facilities.

More About Who Sylvia Is!

MORE ABOUT ME! Sylvia Schulman, returned to South Africa after 15 years in the UK. She played all over the UK as soloist, accompanist and chamber music player, including the Cambridge Festival and the Harewood House Concert Series, Wigmore Hall and Purcell Room in London, broadcast for the BBC and accompanied many international artists. In this country she appeared frequently with the Cape Town Symphony Orchestra as soloist, gave solo, chamber music and broadcast recitals, worked extensively for CAPAB as concert, rehearsal and orchestral pianist. For 10 years Sylvia was employed full time at the National Bahá’í Centre in Johannesburg but was also involved in music with various musical performances and was resident pianist for the Gauteng Choristers. She has been in Swellendam since November 2006, performing several concerts in the area since then including her programme called "Sylvia Schulman Plays Piano Music for You (From W. A. Mozart to George Gershwin)". Another presentation she has given is "A Musical Analogy" in which she likens the elements of music to material and spiritual elements of life. She is also coaching other pianists from Swellendam and surrounding areas.

A New Venture

At last I have found a network marketing business that is a winner. I only started last week and already have a downline. I have several more leads so hope to get my initial quota very quickly. Of course, the music continues and at the moment am involved in a project in George at the Thembalethu township. It will finish mid-April. I hope to be doing more concerts in May and July and news of these will be posted when all arrangements have been made.
As for the network marketing - the product is to do with health and is of huge benefit to all. If anyone wants to know more, contact me.
