I've got some accompanying jobs simply through friends and the words of mouths but not a significant amount, and I found it difficult to get the works regularly at school since there are many MM in Collaborative piano students doing all the work especially when there are other accompanists who are available and are just as good as you in the Big Apple ..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17069800522430760433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734173.post-88118282356722666392008-12-16T11:59:00.000-05:002008-12-16T11:59:00.000-05:00You could also try amateur choirs.

I started playing for a choir for office workers that met at lunchtime and ended up playing three piano concerti as part of a series of programs that they put on with a freelance orchestra! I also met some great people.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676986688599411947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734173.post-37327007484007930612008-12-16T11:10:00.000-05:002008-12-16T11:10:00.000-05:00Also, keep an eye up on the singer's forums, most ...Also, keep an eye up on the singer's forums, most notably NFCS.net, or, again, any of the singer's Facebook groups. Often singers who have auditions that are a couple of days (or even hours) away turn to the forums desperate for someone to play.Gerrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280886972144795961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734173.post-72134987360658730092008-12-15T23:26:00.000-05:002008-12-15T23:26:00.000-05:00Very informative post Chris.

A position as a music director, pianist, or organist at a church that supports and values music and an integral part of worship can be such a musically satisfying experience for a pianist. Information for available positions can be found at denominational websites, at websites like churchjobs.net, or at church musician association websites like the Association of Lutheran Church Musicians (http://www.alcm.org/employment/ViewPlacementListings.asp).<BR/><BR/>Get out there and gig everyone!Derek Polischukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15377542392913008067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734173.post-51603463845824338212008-12-15T22:42:00.000-05:002008-12-15T22:42:00.000-05:00Glad I could be of help, Lauren.

Perhaps I'll find work with one of them. :) I'll take a look at the other options as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
