Additional Info:

Hi,

I am a concert pianist, composer, improviser, sound artist, and an experienced accompanist for vocalists, instrumentalists, and dancers. I have over 23 years of professional accompaniment experiences including to serve as a T.A. during my graduate studies, and to work as a college accompanist during my undergraduate study. I have performed as an accompanist and as a chamber pianist in many concerts, festivals, and competitions in the U.S. and Europe.

I am an excellent sight reader and a versatile accompanist who is capable of improvisation (both jazz and different styles) with a strong background in classical music. I have worked with very small children(4years old) to very accomplished professionals.

I often perform as a soloist, however, when I work as an accompanist, my very focus will be on a soloist and making his/her musical vision come alive. I do think my sensitivity is what makes my accompaniment special.

EDUCATION:
Film Scoring Certificate, UCLA extension, Los Angeles, CA.
MFA in Composer/Performer in African American Improvisation and Multi-Keyboard Performance,
California Institute of the Arts, Valencia, CA.
BA in Piano Performance and Percussion Performance (minor), Bethany College, Lindsborg, KS.
