One of Wendy's star students recently posted an urgent message on Facebook. She needed an accompanist on piano for a vocal audition the following day. Short notice, to say the least. Did I mention that she was in Europe at the time?
This gave me an idea. I'm used to hanging out with singers. I know their needs, foibles and moods. I'm also an accomplished pianist who plays well with others. Some would call me a collaborative pianist. I also have a considerable amount of time on my hands, so I've decided to launch a business.

I think there's a demand out there for my services, though I worry that my high hourly rate may scare off all but the most financially successful singers. Those are the ones I want to play with anyway as I'm not all that interested in working with amateurs.
