Creative Consultation and Coaching

A formal meeting to discuss, deliberate, or seek advice on a specific issue before making a decision. It involves sharing knowledge to reach a better understanding.

While virtual lessons are a bit difficult for piano and composition, I love to meet with people to offer what I can to aid them in their personal journey to improve themselves. Creative Consultations and Coaching are typically scheduled for 1-hour.

Accompaniment

To “accompany” is to perform supporting background music for a vocal solo or other instrumental ensemble.

I love to accompany singers for vocal practice or performance. Below are my rates. Please give me the details of your accompaniment needs and a reliable way to contact you via my Contact Me page, and I’ll get in touch with you.

Solo Performance

Performing musical compositions intended only for piano.

Solo performances would include background music at an event such as a wedding, corporate dinner, or other applicable gathering. Please Contact Me directly with details and we can discuss what you are looking for.

Concert Request

A “concert” request is the equivalent of me putting on a solo performance as the “main event”.

This type of event requires significant notice and a lot of practice. Please Contact Me to discuss the details.

COST: What are You Paying For?

To accompany a vocal or instrumental ensemble, I spend hours practicing, daily, for several weeks, in order to play my part of the performance well. These hours are what I do in addition to showing up to play for the time you request. That is why just 30 minutes is worth a minimum of $20. **Venue and music difficulty determine the rate I charge.

	Rate**	Lead Time*	How to Pay
Accompany	$40-60 per hour ($20-30 per half hour)	3-4 weeks for difficult pieces. 2 weeks for easier pieces.	VenMo Cashier’s Cheque
Perform Solo	$100 per hour ($50 per half hour)	8 weeks preferred. Minimum of 6 weeks.	VenMo Cashier’s Cheque

If you are a consistent or returning client, I will offer discounts at my discretion up to 25%.
