Additional Info:	I am a professional accompanist with many years of experience from accompanying solo voice to instruments and ensembles of all kinds in sacred and contemporary music styles. My education includes a Master's Degree in Music and I supported myself through school with a full music scholarship and professional musician appointments in churches, schools, private parties and competitions. I am an excellent sight-reader and my interpretations have been very well received in making the soloist sound her/his best in the performing settling. I am very easy to work with and enjoy all kinds of musicians and opportunities to perform.
Fees:	I work with the soloist when an accompanist is needed to support the soloist and the musical coach or director. My fees are based on the distance traveled, the number of rehersals required, the difficulty of the music selections, the time I will need to prepare the music and the number of performances. Mostly, I sight read music and then polish with the nuances the soloist indicates. I am very adaptable and very musical.
Instruments:	Piano, Organ, Harpsichord, Electric Keyboards
