Nothing is worse than being asked to accompany a difficult work, such as the Franck sonata for violin and piano, the day before/of the performance, and panicking to learn the music.

Not all accompanists keep photocopies of the same aria - and you certainly don't want the accompanist to play all the phrases with the same amount of rubato/accelerando as they did back in 1998 when they last played the same aria. Double sided/taped singles, clean, and neatly hole punched is fantastic. <br /><br />As well, arrive to coachings/rehearsals with music learned. I have a protocol: The words "Could you play my line for me?" will often inform me that you don't know your music. I will send you home with a warning (and perhaps a trump card for that wasted coaching) - go home and learn your music. If you schedule the next coaching, and no progress is made, I charge for the wasted coaching, and DOUBLE for the second one. Any subsequent note "bashing" will result in a double charge. Mistakes are understandable; But not having your music learned is unfair to everyone. It is as bad as going to math class without homework done and then expecting your teacher/tutor to do it for you. <br /><br />- JYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734173.post-58486249497464010692014-06-06T09:25:16.511-04:002014-06-06T09:25:16.511-04:00Yes it's true a piano is not easy ..
