Solo Musicians and Vocalists

Not only is a good accompanist well prepared, they will compliment the soloist's performance, not over shadow it. It's a skill that not all pianist possess because one needs to be able to split their focus between themselves and the soloist.

I follow the soloist and am prepared for almost anything. I've learned to keep going no matter what, remaining cool and composed.

Choral Groups

There's something about the sound of many voices that always gives me chills. Having accompanied many choral groups since I was just a child, it's something that is second nature to me; knowing how and when to support the director as well as the singers.

I enjoy working with a choral director who is as committed as I am and who likes to work hard but never forgets that it should also be fun.

Musical Theater

I know first hand the time commitment of a musical and how important it is to not waste the time of cast and crew. I'm always where I need to be and am well prepared.

I've provided music direction to performers and have played along side pit musicians. In many cases I've played in the pit while conducting the other musicians.
