The following FAQs apply only to our In Performance Together Piano Accompaniment and Piano Donation Program initiatives. As our organization is currently focused on expanding our In Rhythm Together Drum Circle Program and In Harmony Together Piano Duet Lessons, we are not actively matching new piano accompaniment requests at this time. However, we are actively recruiting volunteer piano accompanists to help us prepare for future program expansion.
Our piano accompanists support a wide variety of orchestral, band, and solo instruments. As long as you can provide the piano accompaniment sheet music, our volunteers may be able to assist.
Rehearsal locations vary depending on the performer, volunteer, and event. Practice sessions may be held at schools, community centers, churches, or private homes with an available piano. Specific arrangements are coordinated between the local chapter, volunteer, and performer.
We welcome volunteers with a range of musical backgrounds and experience levels. Because every student has unique needs and abilities, volunteers are matched with performers based on their skills, experience, and availability.
