How You Can Help

Many people ask me how they can help me out, and this page is the answer to that question. As always, any small thing you can offer is immensely appreciated, and no kind thought or deed is overlooked. You’re the only reason I can do what I do!

Practical Support

I’m always looking for information, referrals and volunteers on the following items, and I’d be very grateful for your help on them!

Accompanists, instrumentalists and other musicians local and abroad. I’m always looking for musicians to collaborate with, especially when traveling to perform in another city where I don’t have current music connections. If you know someone, please introduce us!

Room and board while traveling. If you have a place I can stay while in town for a performance, I’d be very grateful for the heads up. If this is you, email to let me know so that I can incorporate your generosity into my travel plans.

Information while traveling. I’m not yet an experienced world traveler, and I still have a lot to learn about the best ways and routes, especially while outside the United States. If you can offer me expertise on travel inside or outside the U.S., I would be very grateful for the help!

Internet savvy, promotional skills, an extra hand. You can tell that I’m doing a lot of this on my own — and though I do a lot of it professionally, I can only do so much at a time. If you or someone you know would like to get in here and get your hands dirty to help me make this initiative better, broader and more exciting, I would love your assistance.

Emotional Support

Emotional support is incredibly important in undertakings such as this, especially in my situation. At times, it feels like I’m intending to accomplish the impossible — and your letters and emails and words of encouragement are what make the difference between success and failure.

I would love to receive email from you, and if you have my mailing address, I would love to receive letters as well. If you feel the urge, please don’t hold it back. The days I hear from people just like you are the days my life is that might brighter, and my work comes that much more easily.
