Music Direction

I work as a music director, pianist, conductor, and rehearsal pianist for musical theatre productions, concerts, and workshops. My work includes preparing scores, teaching music to casts, accompanying rehearsals, conducting performances, creating rehearsal tracks, and collaborating closely with directors, choreographers, designers, stage managers, and performers throughout the rehearsal process.

I enjoy the collaborative nature of theatre and strive to create a rehearsal environment that is organized, supportive, efficient, and enjoyable for everyone involved. My goal is always to help performers feel confident and prepared so they can focus on storytelling and performance.

Rehearsal Pianist & Audition Accompanist

In addition to music directing, I work as a rehearsal pianist and audition accompanist for musical theatre productions, concerts, and auditions. I am comfortable working with singers of all levels and pride myself on being a supportive, prepared, and flexible collaborator in rehearsal and audition settings.

I have extensive experience working with musical theatre repertoire and understand the importance of supporting performers while maintaining the style, tempo, and structure required for auditions and rehearsals.

Programming, Tracks & Music Preparation

I also create rehearsal tracks, performance tracks, click tracks, and sound effect programming for theatrical productions and performances. This includes keyboard programming, MainStage setups, and preparing materials for rehearsals and performances when live musicians are not available.

I offer music preparation services including score preparation, vocal books, transpositions, and basic arranging for productions and performers.

Collaboration

I believe the role of the music director is not only to teach music, but to support the overall storytelling and collaborate closely with the entire creative team. I enjoy working with directors, choreographers, stage managers, designers, and performers to help bring productions to life in a collaborative and supportive environment.
