Playing piano for a choir is a specialized skill that involves technical facility, sensitivity to balance, and creative problem-solving. However, few choral accompanists have been trained in strategies for reading vocal parts in open score, playing from an orchestral reduction, or efficient practice.
I offer online coaching for choral accompanists. Bring your repertoire and your questions, and we’ll work together to work out problem spots, simplify what you see in your score, and prioritize what you play in order to fully support your choir.
