Availability

Experience

I have extensive experience accompanying soloists, ensembles and music theatre productions.   I have accompanied numerous students at state and regional solo and ensemble contests.  I’ve accompanied choirs at regional and national festivals.  I have functioned as rehearsal accompanist and pit musician in numerous musical productions including;  Spamalot, Grease, Batboy the Musical, Music Man, Footloose, Little Shop of Horrors, Hairspray, Once Upon a Mattress, Godspell, Bye Bye Birdie, Aida, The Wedding Singer and Guys and Dolls.

Cost

Each performance request will be different depending on the difficulty of the music, the amount of rehearsal required and the distance to the event.  In general the charge for a single solo performance is $50 which includes a rehearsal and the performance.  There may be a small fee for travel.   Larger performances such as playing for a musical theatre production require a great deal of rehearsal time and numerous performances, which add to the cost. However, there is a one time fee for these larger performances which will be discussed when booking.  Please feel free to contact me regarding questions about accompaniment for your performance at  music4u2@comcast.net or call me at 253-347-8107.
