______Accompanist/Pianist________

Accompanying a singer is far different than playing solo or with an instrumental ensemble.  The accompanist's job is to enhance the vocal, not just play along with the soloist.  You have to become one musically, performer and accompanist. It takes give and take, a lot of listening and adjusting to the performer. There are many great pianists in the world, but few great accompanists.
