Watch the video below to learn what this means!
You are the ultimate GIVER!
Your focus is on the people you serve – your students. You are a great source of support to them in many ways.
An excellent musician and educator, you are constantly looking for ways to help your students. You make sure that your knowledge and skill level are relevant and current.
You are always looking for opportunities for your singers to perform and addressing their particular needs with great care.
Your students trust you, and they are LUCKY to have you in their lives!
Your students skip out of their lessons singing the great words of Stephen Sondheim, “I know things now, many valuable things!”
(maybe they aren’t actually singing Little Red but you know what I mean! )
That being said….
Sometimes your accompanying isn’t able to support your performers effectively.
You can accompany the vocalises like a champ but that Jason Robert Brown song or Schubert Lied stresses you out.
You really can’t devote the time (or have the desire) to take piano lessons.
You want to be able to accompany your students like a pro – but you’re not going back to school to get a piano degree!
Sound familiar?

Hi! Let me introduce myself!
I’m Dr. Regina Zona, an award-winning professional singer and recording artist who turned in her concert pianist dreams for the theatrical stage.
I’m a wife and a mommy to three adorable puppies named Max, Chester, and Jack (he’s the cutie in the picture!). I drink way too much coffee, and I’m obsessed with Bob Fosse. I frequently break out in musical theatre song lyrics…and I *love* teaching.
As a voice and piano teacher, dramatic coach, and stage director, helping singers to gain the confidence that I had because of my instrumental background and musicianship is one of my biggest passions. All too often I see singers and voice teachers with incredible talent struggle and become frustrated by a lack of musicianship.
Gaining these skills should be enjoyable and fun, and if that sounds like something you need, check out what is offered here. I would love the opportunity to help you become empowered, gain confidence, and enjoy your singing and/or teaching even more!
Here’s What You Need to Know
Being an Able Accompanist doesn’t mean you need to be an expert pianist.
The most important piece of knowledge you need is knowing what to play and what NOT to play.
You don’t need to be able to play Mozart and Beethoven sonatas – or ANY solo piano music.
You just need the strategic skills to play the accompaniments of your vocal music easily and effectively.
What you need is your Savvy Singer Success Formula
The Able Accompanist’s Success Formula is:
The F.O.R.M. Method
FUNDAMENTALS
First, we’ll make sure you have the right foundational skills in place for accompanying (not just piano playing!) You’ll review your knowledge of major and minor scales, triads, inversions, and seventh chords, key signatures, popular chord progressions, and hand coordination.
ORIGINAL MATERIAL
Next, you’ll enhance your ability to create new material. By increasing your ear’s ability to understand harmonic structure and by gaining confidence in pitch relationships, you’ll be able to accompany when you’ve been given very little guidance from the music itself.
REDUCING ACCOMPANIMENTS
You’ll also discover what to play and what NOT to play when looking at a complex accompaniment. You’ll see how to analyze a vocal score with ease so you can simplify accompaniments in various styles.
MASTERY
You will learn the secrets of score sight reading and practice techniques so you can play with a feeling of joy and mastery!
Imagine if YOU, as an Able Accompanist, could…
…play for your students in their lessons without getting distracted by the complexity of the music.
…give your students your full attention and truly collaborate while you play.
…feel confident enough to play for your students in recitals and auditions.
…support your students musically like never before!
