My first experience as an accompanist was at age 15 when I got a PT job working at a dance studio in the ballet class. Later at 18, I started working as a rehearsal & performance pianist with a local high school--a contract position which lead me into working with local amateur theater companies.
During my post-secondary education, I studied piano with Dr. Rex Cooper at Pacific Conservatory at the University of the Pacific in Stockton CA. Dr. Cooper also trained me as an accompanist working with conservatory vocal and instrumental soloists who also attended the university. Some of my conservatory peers still contact me today to perform with them or their current students decades after we have all graduated.
After graduation, I took on a choral accompaniment position at a local church. These days, I help lead worship at the church I attend now.
Currently, my focus is on middle-school and high-school choirs along with students soloists who attend the schools that I work with. I will still accept work with adult musicians in the Ventura County area. Neighboring counties will require extra consideration though.
