I hired Rob Greenfield for a time-sensitive jazz arranging job when a previous arranger delivered a version that was stylistically coo-coo. To my great relief, Rob was able to quickly grasp what I was looking for, and completed it in time for the recording session. He made the writing more pianistic, added fun and flair, and went the extra mile to capture artistic nuances (articulation, etc.) in the manuscript so that my classically-trained accompanist could pull off a plausibly jazzy performance. Rob's relaxed and warm approach set me at ease right away — even over email! — and he was exceptionally responsive and easy to work with. I would hire Rob again in a heartbeat, and wish I had found him sooner!

What draws me to Rob’s accompaniments are the beauty of tone and musicality apparent in his recordings. I was so impressed by tracks from his store that I approached him to customise tracks for me, which he did with great communication, speed and at a very reasonable rate. I would strongly recommend Rob’s services to voice teachers and singing students everywhere, particularly in these times.

"I have purchased four custom accompaniments to classical pieces from Rob Greenfield. They are beautifully performed, and the sound quality is superb. In addition, Rob composed and recorded a lovely accompaniment to a song that I wrote. I am thrilled with the result."

"The Accompaniment Company is an invaluable resource for classical singers and voice teachers.The site is easy to navigate, full of useful tools and information, and everything has been well researched. New songs are added regularly so there is always something new to explore. I love the information about the composers and the pieces. That is such a nice touch. The Accompaniment Company has been a great help to me and to my students in fine-tuning this important vocal repertoire."

"I feel really lucky to have found this website! Before finding this site I had purchased other accompaniments and bought books with insensitive accompaniment CDs. No accompaniment I purchased before finding Rob's site was even tolerable. His playing is expert and sensitive; the recordings have such a fine sound quality that I sometimes listen to them even when I am not practicing! Rob cares for this music and it shows, as does his care for customers. When he didn't have two pieces in the key I needed, he e-mailed me soon after with links to each of them in two formats, labelled so clearly that they could in no way be visually confused with other versions on my computer. He is now the go-to guy for me, my teachers, and fellow-students!"

"I am so happy to have discovered Rob Greenfield’s website. I needed accompaniments for a few songs,
and you can find them on his site in three keys, so you can choose the best key for your voice. The sound of the piano is very beautiful, and the music sheet is perfectly respected. The music sheets are also very well done. This summer, I also had a particular demand for a song acompaniment of Mahler that I couldn’t find anywhere, so I posted an email to Rob, and he kindly created the accompaniment for me! The sound is very beautiful. Moreover, I watched his video with his group, and discovered him playing piano jazz so nicely.
It was a nice experience for me to communicate with a great professional artist in the US, because I am a simple french amateur singer…"

"I teach private voice and voice class mainly to high school students. This site has helped immensely in providing a way for them to learn and practice more efficiently on their own. Spending less time on learning notes in lessons provides more time to spend on vocal technique, language, interpretation, performance, etc. The different transpositions of the songs, sheet music, learning tracks, and accompaniment tracks are incredibly helpful. This is a one-stop station for the students to come to. The site is user friendly, and customer service is wonderful!"

“I’m using the recording of the accompaniment to Panis Angelicus to prepare for a singing exam. I’m delighted to have found a recording played on the piano (rather than full orchestra), in the key required by the examiners (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) and without any rubato. Many thanks”.

I have been searching for accompaniment for Schubert's Ave Maria for a couple of weeks. I was able to find a few sites that offered it but not in the key I needed which was Ab. I was getting worried since I needed it for a wedding. The Accompaniment Company also offered the piano accompaniment in several keys but not Ab. I filled out a contact sheet and asked if it was available. Rob Greenfield responded immediately and offered to add it to the site for me. He asked when I needed it and had it available in a couple of days. It is perfect. I recommend this company highly. The price was reasonable, too.
