I graduated from Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois in 2006 with a B.A. in Elementary Education and a minor in piano performance. My accompanying experience of 10 years includes working classically with choirs, solo vocalists and instrumentalists (string, brass, woodwind, piano), dancers (ballet) and ensembles. I've studied classical piano for 21 years and was recognized as one of the top 30 young artists in the state of California in 2002.
I also have experience working with church worship teams in improvisation and reading chords and charts. I have 2 years of experience studying jazz piano, but am still most comfortable with classical. My experience as an instrumentalist (clarinet and French horn) and vocalist (alto) has enhanced my understanding of necessary accompanying techniques and qualities.
