Tampa Bay's Premier Pianist, Accompanist and Piano Tuner

​The ART of ACCOMPANYING
Accompanying a singer, an instrumentalist or even an ensemble or choir is an artform. I can't tell you how many times I have encountered brilliant pianists who simply do not accompany well. I started accompanying choirs at the age of 11. It all began with accompanying my middle school chorus for one selection on our winter concert....and that was it! I was in love. From that point on, I accompanied every single concert, competition and rehearsal that I could, fine tuning my skill to master my craft. Some of the most important skills I've developed over the years are the ability to know what the conductor or soloist will do, sometimes even before they do, and the ability to instantaneously respond. However, I am not only a great follower, I am also a great director as well as I have been teaching nearly two decades.

It's never easy to say goodbye.

Nothing and no one can take away the agony we feel when we experience the loss of a friend or family member. However, while I can't take that pain away, I can bring you comfort and peace during your time of grief. As an empath, I have the ability to feel the emotions of those around me. As a result, I am able to translate that emotion and pain into meaningful, heartfelt and passionate song. I always say that I communicate better through music than I do with spoken word, because music speaks in ways words could only dream of. Due to the urgency and inability to plan for these types of needs in advance, I would ask that you call or text me, so that I can ensure that you receive a timely response. The last thing I would want is to add to your plate during your time of need and grief.
