Dear Colleagues,
We are continuing the Collaborative Piano assignment program this year, in which B. Mus Performance Majors, Post Bacc, Pre-Masters, and Masters students in the Classical Stream can request 8 hours/term with a collaborative piano student, to rehearse and perform. Our expectation is that these hours will be spread evenly throughout the term.
We are eager for our collaborative students to explore varied repertoire with instrumentalists and singers from the Desautels Faculty of Music. Through these assignments, pianists participate in rehearsals, lessons, and/or master classes. If the soloist requires additional hours or the pianist's participation in a performance, it is their responsibility to make financial arrangements with the collaborative pianist.
To encourage musical growth throughout the year, we recommend that collaborative pianists attend the soloists' lessons at least once a month. We also recommend that soloists come to the collaborative pianists' lessons and/or Studio Classes periodically. We are both available to team-coach with you if schedules permit.
We have created a Request Form for students/instructors to fill (attached to this e-mail). The deadline is Wednesday, September 25 at 4:30 pm.
All assignments will be made by Judy and Laura. Please scan this form to both of us or drop it in the envelopes posted outside our offices.
Please feel free to contact either of us with any questions or concerns.
We look forward to your responses.
