Having accompanied hundreds of musicals, concerts, religious ceremonies and cabaret performances, my collaborative pianist experience began over forty years ago. I am a longtime faculty member of the UCLA theater department's musical theater program as music director, pianist, conductor, voice teacher and vocal coach. My work has taken me across Europe on numerous tours. With excellent sight-reading skills in all styles, I am often LA accompanist for Broadway and national tour auditions. I have countless current and former students and clients performing on Broadway and in national tours. With my background and education in both theater and music, I have a unique and valuable combination of skills.
