This course of study encompasses all aspects of accompanying. This is particularly useful for pianists interested in a career. Accompaniments are presented in class and critiqued.
Emphasis is on correct style, strong musical collaboration, and learning new scores rapidly.
Other practical keyboard skills are covered, such as modulation, transposition, score reading, Baroque realization and ornamentation, and reading chord symbols at sight. Keyboard majors are required to enroll in accompanying for each semester of their undergraduate residency. Each ensemble uses an accompanist. Opportunity to assist rehearsals and to make this your second ensemble for credit. This page maintained by Joy St.
