| RECITAL AND ACCOMPANIST INFORMATION | ||||||||||||
CMS offers numerous opportunities for performance during the year. Please note these guidelines when using CMS accompanists. Piano accompaniment for instrumental and vocal students is available for CMS recitals. There are two separate rates. We strongly recommend that students use one of our professional accompanists who will prepare the student for performance, while teaching the student how to work with other musicians. We request music be submitted to the accompanist at least two weeks prior to the recital date. Students should also be prepared to work with the accompanist two weeks prior to the recital. Elementary: $ 20.00 charge to student. This includes one rehearsal. Most elementary sessions will be as close to the actual recital as possible. Intermediate and Advanced Level: $ 35.00 charge to student. This includes one rehearsal of 30-minutes in length. In the event there is additional rehearsal time required, please follow this simple procedure. Share the information with the school administration to ensure the time and place of the rehearsal has been appropriately scheduled. Note your regular lesson fee will apply. Make certain the accompanist is available. For any students selected to perform in the GALA recital, accompaniment is free. CMS does request appropriate clothing be worn for each recital. If in doubt, please ask what is acceptable. |
