Piano accompaniment for examinations and competitions
Behind every strong solo performance is a partnership that supports it—rhythmically, harmonically, and psychologically. As a seasoned accompanist and performer, I provide more than just note-perfect support. I help instrumentalists and vocalists feel musically anchored, emotionally steady, and fully prepared for the moment that counts.
Whether you’re preparing for a graded exam, a school performance, a competition, or an audition, I bring reliability, precision, and sensitivity to each collaboration. I coach timing, ensemble listening, and performance presence—making sure the whole presentation comes across with coherence and confidence.
Why Choose Our Piano accompaniment for examinations and competitions
As a classically trained pianist with professional performance experience—and a background in coaching and mentoring—I understand both the musical and psychological demands of high-stakes performance. I work quickly and attentively, adjusting to your technical needs, preferred interpretations, and tempo habits.
This service is never transactional. I guide students through ensemble dynamics, exam etiquette, and stage presentation. I’ve supported students from Grade 1 through diploma-level, across instruments and exam boards. Whether you need a few run-throughs or a steady rehearsal partnership, I’m here to ensure you feel seen, prepared, and professionally supported—note for note, bar by bar.
Cost of Piano accompaniment for examinations and competitions
Piano accompaniment fees vary based on the level of repertoire, rehearsal time required, and event type (e.g. exam, audition, or competition). I aim to keep rates fair, transparent, and considerate of the preparation involved on both sides.
As a general guide, the cost is £90 up, inclusive of an hour of rehearsal at my studio and attendance for the competition / examination / event. Additional hour of rehearsal is charged at £30 up. Cost may vary subject to location, level of repertoire and amount of lead time allowed.
I’m happy to discuss options after seeing your score and timeline. The goal is simple: to make you feel fully supported—technically, musically, and humanly—so you can perform at your best.

Things to Know About
Piano accompaniment for examinations and competitions
Accompaniment isn’t background—it’s a partnership
In classical performance, the pianist is not there to “follow”—they are there to collaborate. Good accompaniment requires active listening, interpretative alignment, and real-time responsiveness. Whether you’re a young violinist or a senior vocalist, I don’t just support your part—I work with you to shape a unified musical statement.
One rehearsal can make all the difference
A common mistake is treating the accompanist as a last-minute addition. Even a single pre-exam rehearsal can dramatically improve coordination, phrasing, and confidence. I use that time not only to align musically, but to help students settle emotionally—so the performance feels familiar, not fragile.
I coach performance presence—not just ensemble skills
My work doesn’t stop at playing the notes. I help students develop pacing, cueing, breathing, and timing strategies. I also guide them through the small things that make a big difference—how to bow, how to recover after a slip, and how to “own the room” quietly and respectfully.
Every grade level has its own musical demands
Playing for Grade 1 is not “easier” than playing for Grade 8—it’s simply a different kind of sensitivity. At early levels, I support students with secure rhythm and calming presence. At advanced levels, we work together on rubato, articulation detail, and interpretive coherence. My approach adjusts completely to the level and maturity of the performer.
Good accompaniment reduces anxiety and raises marks
Students often walk into exams feeling alone. A skilled accompanist changes that. I provide steady tempo, expressive support, and a calm presence—so students can focus on their part with full attention. This not only boosts confidence but often leads to better musical flow and stronger examiner impressions.
