      The worse a student plays, the more editing the accompanist has to do to cover up the mistakes.

      The better the student play, the more detailed the accompanist has to be.
      Because much of the musical details are with the piano, you cannot remove the accompanist lah.

      Chemistry is important for very young kids and candidates with learning disorder. There is a violin teacher with a very sensitive kid. The student played with four accompanists before selecting her own pianist to help with her exam preparation.

        I am hoping to get my sons someone they can get to know a little bit. Do you think that matters…to stick with one person? It seems with kids it would really help. My plan was to meet up with them once every month or two if possible to keep the kids on their gameI agree with the comments about money by the way. Musicians are pretty cheap but parents…that is another matter in some cases. Also, do you pay different for recordings? I want to record a performance and I assume as long as they are not in the video we should be ok. But…we have to find them first!

          Hi Billymarsh123, not many parents would be like you - to let the kids play regularly with the accompanist. It’s extra cost and time but it is a fantastic idea as the child gets to know the accompanist like how he (she)'d know the teacher. The more the child knows the accompanist the more comfortable they are with each other and there’d be more chemistry when that’s called for at higher grades. And making music together is fun for the kids. It helps when the child’s teacher is able to accompany during lessons.


          As for whether there’d be a different rate for recording, the answer is no, unless it is for professional recording, eg. audition submission or cutting a CD! If it is just to record for own purposes the rate should be whatever is charged for the "music making" session

                  Hi, I’m a qualified and experienced piano teacher and accompanist. I have an ABRSM diploma in piano, grade 5 in violin, and worked as a music director/conductor and piano accompanist at award-winning venues in New York. I’ve accompanied many singers (beginners and professionals alike), conducted and played in bands, and played alongside other instrumentalists. I also taught children’s choir, musical theater and creative drama classes at private schools in New York, working alongside Broadway performers and working with a child Broadway performer. I am an experienced musician, totally fine working under pressure, love working with kids and am able to sight-read and improvise on the spot. I currently teach piano, and children’s drama classes in Singapore. Feel free to message me to accompany your child’s abrsm exams. Cheers!
