COLLABORATIVE PIANo

For lessons, master classes, performances and more, I have been a collaborative pianist for almost 40 years. From music ministry to jazz to art songs, musical theatre and opera, I would love to collaborate with you on your next project!

MUSIC TRANSCRIPTIONS

I transcribe songs into different keys or different formats to make sure everyone is on the same page.

Editors have different standards but I make sure lyrics are readable, page turns are limited and in the most opportune places, measures are numbered, and rehearsal sections are identified. In addition, I offer scores that can be printed on paper with either US (i.e., 8.5 by 11”) or international (e.g., A4) dimensions.

I also read Cyrillic, so I also offer transliteration services.

VOCAL COACHING & WORKSHOPS

I’ve been singing for a long while and can offer insights on how to make your performance more engaging and physically efficient.

I have worked with groups such as the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra Chorus, Spiritus Chamber Choir, the Calgary Boys’ Choir, the Grande Prairie Boys Choir and Calgary Concert Opera Company.

My list of leadership roles includes sectional rehearsals, diction training and chorus conducting.

MUSIC THEORY

Need help distinguishing your clefs from your key signatures? Need some pointers on sight reading? I’m happy to help you with music theory to help you read your scores more easily and efficiently.

ARTS ADMINISTRATION & SUPPORT

My non-musical life revolves around communication. In my day job, I write proposals and grant applications, so you or your organization can leverage first-rate writing skills. I also consult on matters of marketing, communications and public relations, and have served as a board member for a number of Alberta-based arts organizations.
