Additional Info:

I am always eager to collaborate with other musicians! I welcome your inquiry when you need a musical partner. I have over 25 years experience accompanying vocalists, instrumentalists, choirs, ensembles, musical theatre productions, and weddings.

If you desire excellence and professionalism as you are preparing for your solo recital, audition, or special event, please contact me. Fees are based upon my preparation time, our rehearsals together, and time and travel to performances.

In addition to teaching in my active piano studio on the south side of Indianapolis--Studio J--I currently freelance as an accompanist in the central Indiana area. I was formerly a Staff Accompanist at Butler University, and have accompanied music students at Ball State University and at the University of Indianapolis. I currently accompany the choirs at Roncalli High School for their concerts and accompany their vocal students at District and State ISSMA Contests. I am a mom of two string players, (cellist and violist), so also accompany a lot of instrumentalists at Wind/Percussion/String ISSMA Contests. Please see my website www.janellepiano.com and LinkedIn profile for more detail about my qualifications.

My skill set includes being an extremely strong sight-reader, very expressive, able to follow a conductor even while sight-reading, being incredibly detailed, and having a very solid sense of rhythm and pulse. My piano students will attest that I never let them play the rhythms wrong in their pieces, and I've been that way since I was very young. Playing with others is so much fun, but one has to have a great sense of time in order to get asked back again and again. :)

I particularly enjoy diving into 20th and 21st century repertoire, but Romantic and Impressionistic composers rank among my favorites as well. With my experience and attention to detail, you can have confidence that your event will be in capable hands.
