Accompanist careers

An Accompanist provides musical support to soloists, choirs, and other performers during rehearsals and performances. You might work in schools, music studios, theatres, or religious institutions. Accompanists focus on enhancing performances by playing instruments, typically piano, to complement and support the main performers. You’ll collaborate closely with singers, dancers, and musicians to ensure a harmonious and polished performance.

Accompanists play an essential role in the success of performances. You’ll need to be highly skilled on your instrument, adaptable, and able to follow the lead of other performers. You’ll work with directors and performers to ensure timing, expression, and style are cohesive and contribute to the overall artistic vision.
