My accompanying career spans more than 25 years, including work at schools, churches, park districts, etc. I have traveled internationally as accompanist of a children's chorus, I have accompanied students of all ages for recitals and auditions, I have accompanied total strangers/guests at weddings/church, and I have worked with numerous directors/conductors. I'm a very good sight-reader and I believe in making the person/group I'm accompanying sound their best! Below, I have included my most recent work history as listed on my resume.
