I received my degree in music from Lamont School of Music at DU. I have worked as a collaborative pianist for 12 years. I have worked in both with a broad range of soloists (flute, clarinet, guitar, voice, trumpet, trombone, tuba, euphonium, French horn, cello and violin) and the ensembles of musical theater and orchestra. In a collaborative capacity, I have performed for dozens of recitals, competitions, honors concerts, etc. I am a strong sight-reader. I enjoy concerto reductions. I am classically trained, and I particularly excel at the romantic style. However, I also have a good ear for spicing up a plain Broadway or "standards" - style accompaniment.
I strongly feel that there is a difference between playing "with" somebody, and simply playing "at the same time." I love the synergy that comes from working with other musicians, and strive to always give my best to the partnership!
