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.
