Additional Info:	Hi there! Thanks for checking out my profile here on PianoAccompanists.com. Here's a little information about me so you can see if I might be a fit for your project: I graduated from Baldwin-Wallace Conservatory of Music in Cleveland, Ohio where I earned a Bachelor of Music Degree in Music Composition (voice and piano minor). I also attended Berklee College of Music in Boston for film scoring. Some of my experience/skills: * Contemporary/Classical Choral experience (I've been in choirs and also directed). * I have major experience accompanying instrumentalists and vocalists. * I have major experience Music Directing musicals and cabarets - I am very familiar with the Broadway and American Songbooks. * I am a good sightreader, able to read charts or notated music. * I am able to transpose charts, if needed. I can transpose notated music once I am more familiar with it. * I have a classical background but am just as comfortable playing jazz, pop, musical theatre, rock, folk, cabaret - you name it! * I am also an arranger - so if you have a song but want to put your "own signature" on it, we can work together to find the sound you want. So there you have it. My experience in a nutshell. Over the last 20 years, I have supported myself as a pianist working on musicals, bands, music copying, film scoring, and songwriting. Please visit my website blankcanvasmusic.com for more info on me and my skills and what I might be able to offer your project (you can download a copy of my professional work resume from my website's home page - just look for the "Michael's Resume" button). I love to collaborate with fellow artists and make great music. Have a question I didn't answer here? Then, please don't hesitate to get a hold of me. I hope to hear from you!
