Additional Info:
Stephen Klyce, D. Mus., MSM, B.Mus. AAGO
Accompanying since high school; earned my way through college (Mich. State) accompanying; 10 years teaching in grade schools and colleges, most of which consisted of heavy accompanying. Excellent sight reader. Experience with instrumental accompanying esp. strings and brass. Degrees in Organ, Vocal, choral music, conducting.
Over 45 years experience in playing-directing and accompanying in various churches.
I have also sung and accompanied light music events, esp. musicals, dinner music, broadway type shows, etc.
I have played dinner music and accompanied on my Yamaha keyboard for over 12 years. I am about 2 notches under Gerald Moore and John Wustman, but I am prepared to practice and work at whatever is required.
I also (for fun) play Mozart and Rachmaninoff concerto solo parts and read and improvise constantly. I am also a very good arranger of all types of music from pop to Baroque. Thank you for your interest!
Fees
$ 40.00 Dollars Per Hour
Flexible fee depending upon level of difficulty, and the professional stance of who is being accompanied. Also repeat engagements will be taken under consideration for a discount.
The level of expertise of the soloist or group will be a factor: the more coaching and "teaching" involved the more the expected remuneration. Time is money and talent pays. Thank you.
Please note I have experience and skill in most music periods and most keyboard instruments, particularly organ. I do have my own home "studio" should that be needed. Also I am well known throughout the area and can often secure an adequate practice facility if soloist does not have a place at hand.
