It has been my experience that finding qualified musical resources can sometimes be difficult. This page is intended to make this process easier by facilitating communication and cooperation within the Research Triangle musical community.

Here are links to web pages and email addresses for:

Pianists who specialize in accompanying/collaboration or who have significant experience as rehearsal pianists.

Voice teachers who use studio pianists, who sometimes need accompanists for recitals, auditions and competitions, or teachers who have students they wish to refer to vocal coaches.
