♪ STUDENT ASSOCIATION OF PIANO ACCOMPANISTS - SAPA 501(c)(3) ♬
SAPA was created after we found that disparities in financial and educational resources prevented many young musicians from engaging in the same activities as their peers. A major aspect of this divide occurs at events such as competitions and recitals that require a piano accompanist (many times difficult to find and costly). We formed SAPA to allow all students to have access to free and reliable accompaniment while creating bonds within the musical community. Our organization supports musicians in participating in a wide variety of experiences, and each musician who fills out a request form will be paired with a volunteer in their area based on skill level and piece difficulty.
Pianists who are passionate about making a difference in their community can either apply as a volunteer or become president of their own chapter. Whether it be as a school club, a piano studio organization, or simply a group of pianists looking to serve others, leading and/or participating in a SAPA chapter can be a gratifying and impactful experience.
Please reach out to us at studentpianoaccompanists@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
We cover a wide range of orchestral and band instruments. As long as you are able to provide piano sheet music, our volunteers can accompany you.
Every situation is different, and depending on the nature of the event, you may meet in school or at homes with available pianos. Details should be confirmed with specific chapters and volunteers.
We accept a wide range of skill levels for our volunteers since our students also have varying skill and experience. Volunteers are paired with a student according to their level of capability indicated in their application.
Check out our "Get Involved" page to find more ways to help and a guide on starting your own chapter as well as how to volunteer.
