I began accompanying at age 10 and played my first full wedding at age 11. I have accompanied choral groups, including school choruses and jazz choirs, church choirs, community choruses, a ladie's show choir (also sang in the group) and many vocal solists. I have accompanied a wide variety of instumentalists, played for weddings, funerals, community functions, provided background music for various events and have been a church pianist/vocalist for 32 years. I have a music education degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and have taught piano and some voice for 30 years, including 3 years K-12 Vocal/general music in the public schools. I play basically every genre and can improvise on minimal notation. True jazz combo playing from a lead sheet is not my strength (but I love jazz!). I love the art of accompanying!
