Piano Accompanist & performance Coach

FBA Solo & Ensemble Festival accompanist for middle & high school instrumentalists. I can also accompany vocalists, and performances for recitals, audition videos, vocal ensembles, and church performances.

"Before I felt moderately confident in my ability to play my solo. After, I felt it was far better than before. [The coaching session] was very helpful. The tips and pointers I received improved my performance without a doubt. 5 stars." -Flute, 10th grade, Superior Rating Feb. 2023

• I can prepare you for what the judge(s) are looking for when preparing for Solo & Ensemble.* As an adjudicator, former trumpet player, band student, and S & E participant, I stress the importance of a well prepared "audition": Easy-going execution, musicality, and being in sync with the accompanist are some of the qualities needed for a great performance and high rating. 
• Prior students received Superior, Excellent ratings, and have gone on to State Festival.​

"He helped with phrasing and exaggerating the dynamics. He also suggested the method of practicing sixteenth note runs slowly and varying the rhythms. We talked about picturing a scene or color when playing. I felt that he gave very helpful advice in how to make my solo sound more musical." Feb. 2023
