Piano accompaniment is available for recitals, competitions, and recordings. Freya has a master's degree in piano accompanying from the University of Oregon, and has played for singers and instrumentalists for many years, from students to professionals.
Most people schedule at least two rehearsals before an event, which allows time to work on musicality, interpretation, rhythm, stage presence, and good ensemble playing. Some students prefer more rehearsal time, and a few attend weekly rehearsals in addition to private lessons on their instrument.
Piano accompaniment
Payment
Rehearsals are $75 per hour, $60 per 45 minutes, or $45 per half hour.
Performance fees for each student are /$35 per event for 1 to 2 pieces, /$45 per event for 3 to 5 pieces, or /$75 per hour for full recitals.
Payment is due within 3 days of scheduling for all rehearsals and performances.
Deadlines
Rehearsals must be scheduled at least one week in advance. See the schedule page to view open times. Before scheduling, please contact me by phone or email to confirm my availability for your event.
All piano parts for your music are due one week before the first rehearsal and four weeks before a performance; exceptions are possible by request. For difficult pieces, I may need the music earlier. Good photocopies or emailed scans are fine unless the event requires the accompanists to use original scores.
Requests to Parents
Please make sure your child is safely inside the house before you drive away.
Please be prompt in picking up your children from their rehearsals.
Parents and siblings are welcome to sit quietly in the studio or wait in the living room during rehearsals.
Parents are expected to read and respond to emails and text messages.
