The rehearsal pianist is mostly required to ‘bash notes’, to play each groups line whilst they learn it and then the accompaniment . Good sight reading skills are a big help. The music itself is of varying standards, usually not too complicated , absolute perfection during rehearsals is not required, although a suitable standard for performances is !

What we require of you:

  • Availability for rehearsals and performances. (Rehearsals suspended during July school holidays. Consideration given to previous arrangements or required absences. eg. exams, away work committments)
  • A reasonable standard of playing (no grade qualifications are necessary, but approx grade 5/6 or above)
  • A reasonable standard of sight reading
  • Preparedness to learn music in your own time.
  • Possible extra rehearsals near to performance, by mutual agreement.
  • Season has started for 2010 – performances in November.

What we will offer you:

  • A one off payment per season to be negotiated
  • Possible additional payments; eg. for making rehearsal CDs/tapes
  • A friendly atmosphere with a committed group of singers
  • Program acknowledgement of your service
  • Immersion in some beautiful music and possible broadening of your musical horizons.
