Overview

I am a professional pianist, offering services in piano accompaniment, teaching and performance. My personal repertoire has a primary focus on Classical music, but I have maintained a vast repertoire of classical, jazz, pop, and contemporary pieces suitable for various performance settings. As an accompanist, I have a proficiency in sight-reading and flexibility learning new music. As such, I love collaborating on creating new programs to suit the mood and interests of your event audience.

What to expect

While my personal repertoire has a strong focus on Classical music, as a knowledgeable sight-reader I enjoy collaborating with event planners to create custom sets. In addition to my Classical repertoire, I have experience performing Jazz, Pop/Rock and contemporary genres. I'm also able to take last minute requests where music is available.
