Looking for piano accompanist for violinist

[phankao]

sleepy:

I think exam board should just scrap the accompaniment requirement for strings.

Like for Chinese instrumental exams, huh? ;D

Any one knows the nafa piano accopanist ? Do you think he/she will like to accompany non-nafa ?

NAFA does not have a full time accompanist, unlike Yong Siew Toh. Student accompanists are assigned to each individual instrumentalits, but the accompanists are not obligated to accompany them because it is not compulsory for pianists to accompany and there is no mark involved. :

For NAFA's School of Young Talents, they do have a list of regular accompanists for their instrumental students, if I'm not mistaken (not talking about the Dip/BA programmes, Dreamaurora). And the students have to pay for the accompanists whether they like it or not. No option, it seems. One of my friends who is a piano teacher, said she was not allowed to accompany her girl even though she had done so for others for those same pieces many times before for their exams. But yes, in YST, all-in. No need to pay for practice/performance accompanist fees.

So far, my boy has worked best with his fellow school student accompanists. But now all say too busy. *sigh*. He asked me to get him an accompanist for his school exam. I look at the score - not too difficult. I could play, but I cannot coordinate too well. So I think best to get a professional. The last time I accompanied him was for his Grade 4 violin exams! I'm too lazy to practice for his pieces now. Too difficult.

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
