Piano accompaniment
Generally if you are under grade 8, I can play for you with short notice (unless I have prior engagement), however last minute panics can easily be avoided if you seek me out at least one week prior to the performance.
Particularly difficult accompaniment part will require extra practice for me, which I will need to charge extra based on the hours needed to spend on practising. I will inform you if this may be the case when I am given the music, and once I have tried it I will be able to give you a ROUGH quote on how many hours I may need to spend to get it sounding decent.
However, if it is an urgent assignment (eg. I receive the music 2-3 days before the performance) and it requires extra practices from me, then the quality of my playing cannot be guaranteed, which I hope you can understand!
