Because it usually takes a couple of weeks at the beginning of every semester before assignments are in finalized, unused hours can be added toward the latter part of the semester, but not overly lop-sided toward jury week because the student accompanists have their own solo juries to prepare. You may use this time in any way you want. This number also includes rehearsal time. When a pianist is assigned, this essentially means 15 hours spread out over the semester. If I become aware of a situation where disrespect occurs, I will release the pianist from the assignment. If you are lucky enough to work with one of our Staff Accompanists, it is imperative that you treat these people with the same degree of respect and consideration that you would to a faculty member. Professionalism and common courtesy are necessary common threads that must prevail when instrumentalists or vocalists are working with pianists. If the accompanists cannot be reached, then they can leave a message with me and I will contact the pianist. It is also their responsibility to contact the accompanists in advance if the need for cancellation should arise. If contact is not made immediately (within five days of the initial assignment), the pianists will be released from the assignment. Although Rehearsalnet will notify pianists of their assignments, the instrumentalist or vocalist must make initial contact within five days of the assignment to arrange transfer of music, rehearsal times and confirmation of lesson attendance. Accompanists are not required to travel to faculty members’ homes for lessons.
#ACCOMPANIST RATE PROFESSIONAL#
If this deadline is not met, I will release the accompanist from the assignment and recommend contacting an outside professional accompanist. If a student accompanist is being used for a vocal jury, final jury repertoire decisions must be made a month prior to the jury examinations. If you are a vocalist or instrumentalist and are planning a performance or jury or lesson time, you must check with your pianist to make sure of their availability ahead of time. Outside Professional Accompanists can be dealt with outside of this system. I cannot always accommodate your requests, but will try my best….Please be clear in understanding that I must approve all requests of pianists who are involved in Rehearsalnet who have required accompanying duties. For example: Preferences concerning specific pianists, repertoire information, recital dates, or, in the case of pianists, whether you wish to accompany for vocalists and/or instrumentalists and any specific teachers that you would particularly enjoy working with. Please use this if you have any specific information to communicate. On your contact data page, you will notice a box for Special Requests. At the end of every semester, schedule information and special request boxes will be cleared, but contact data will remain along with user names & passwords. It is not necessary to re-create a new account at the beginning of each semester-just keep the first one you make all the way through your studies here. Be sure to notify me of all changes in your schedule at any point in the semester.
#ACCOMPANIST RATE UPDATE#
Updated schedules are easily managed on the Rehearsalnet Scheduling system so if you are not sure of your complete schedule, enter whatever you can immediately and update it later. It should take less than five minutes to do this. It is your responsibility to do this immediately. Please go to Rehersalnetand enter or update your contact data, using cougar118 (with no spaces) as the school ID if you are a new student.
