No instrumental musician's experience would be complete without collaborating with pianists on sonatas, concerti, and other accompanied works.  When accompanying musicians in high school or younger, I strive to bring energy to our rehearsals and to always teach my partner something about the music.  Playing with a pianist for the first time can be intimidating, especially if one has been rehearsing with a track or no accompaniment at all.  I enjoy working with younger students to overcome the barriers that limit many first-timers to mechanical or stressful performances.

In working with college students and professional musicians, diving deep into the musical potentials of a work is very rewarding for all involved.  In my personal preparation (practicing and listening to orchestral recordings when applicable), I aim to be ready to work on musical ideas with my partners to ensure an authentic performance that does justice to the piece and to the composer.
