STAFF COLLABORATIVE PIANIST/COACH POLICY
Dr. Garnica | Office: Rm142, Studio: Rm 132 | email: [email protected] | Phone: 909.869.3552
INTRODUCTION Working with a collaborative pianist/coach is a musical privilege, and a very important musical relationship. It fosters better musicianship, chamber music skills, and camaraderie. The more you put into it, the more you will get out of it.
SCHEDULING
1. The accompanist’s time is very limited. Therefore, it is your responsibility to contact the accompanist and make sure they have a scheduled time to meet for rehearsals no later than the first day of performance seminar. If Dr. Garnica is unavailable during any of the student’s preferred times, the student may be assigned to work with another accompanist.
2. Priority of the accompanist’s schedule will be given as follows: a. Playing for classes b. Vocal/instrumental applied lessons c. Rehearsing with performance/education majors d. Rehearsing with MIS majors
3. If you are not required to rehearse with your pianist every week (instrumentalists), scheduling may be done on an as need basis, as availability permits. Please plan accordingly.
4. Please notify your accompanist at least 24 hours in advance if you cancel a rehearsal. We understand this isn’t always possible with unexpected emergencies. But as a courtesy, please communicate with your pianist, as it may affect your attendance grade. ATTENDANCE It is very important that you respect the opportunity to meet with your accompanist. It is a musical privilege that isn’t afforded to all music departments. Attendance is part of your overall studio grade (10%) and will be taken each time you meet with your pianist. You will be marked as either present or absent. If you are absent, the pianist will try to make up the rehearsal, but as time is limited, this may not be always possible. If your pianist is absent, it will not count against you. Examples of missing rehearsals: Dr. Garnica will be unavailable for some coachings due to other CPP music events. If this affects your regularly scheduled coaching time, see door of 132 for a list of dates/times for make-up coachings. Please sign up to reschedule.
1. Student meets with pianist every week of the semester = 15/15 2. Pianist is unable to rehearse for two weeks throughout the semester = 13/13 3. Student misses two rehearsals, pianist misses one rehearsal = 13/14
20
MUSIC PREPARATION
1. If using original copies, book must be able to lay open flat on the piano. 2. Hand-written music (whether original or photocopy) will be used at the discretion of the pianist. If not
legible, other arrangements must be made. 3. All photocopied music must be contained within a single, plain, black, 3-ring binder, no later than week 2.
Usually a ½-inch to 1-inch thickness is enough, depending on quantity of music. a. Loose sheets of music are unacceptable and will not be used. b. Plastic sleeves are not allowed, as they can cause glare, and the accompanist cannot make markings
on the music. c. Music must not be cut-off on either the top end or the bottom end of the page.
4. All photocopied music must be single-sided, and taped back-to-back. NO STAPLES. A single piece of tape is required to wrap around the two pages (length-wise) at the very top, and at the very bottom.
5. If the music is exactly two pages in length, tape is not needed, and the first page must be on the left side, so as to avoid an unnecessary page turn.
6. If the music is three pages or more in length, please consider how the page turns line up regarding accompaniment difficulty. This will inform you as to whether the music should begin on the left side of the page, or the right side of the page. If unsure, please consult with your pianist.
7. Feel free to add a table of contents, tabs, or otherwise organize your music folder as you wish, by composer/language/etc. While this is not mandatory, it is greatly appreciated and will help facilitate rehearsals. Let your inner scrapbooking come out! PERFORMANCE SEMINAR-VOICE You should have rehearsed Performance Seminar repertoire with accompanist at least twice before each of your scheduled Performance Seminar-Voice performances. JURIES You should have rehearsed ALL repertoire with accompanist before the week of juries. Double-check with your pianist to make sure they are available for your chosen jury time-slot. Sometimes your pianist will have to play for multiple juries in quick succession, possibly causing scheduling conflicts. RECITALS Your pianist will be available for a pre-recital and dress rehearsal for one hour. It is best to schedule these during your lesson hour with your teacher present, if possible. If the pianist cannot stay the full length, he/she will stay as long as possible before their next appointment/rehearsal, etc. It is possible your pianist may not be able to rehearse or attend your lesson on account of playing for another student’s pre-recital or dress rehearsal. Check if your pianist needs a page-turner before the recital. It is an often overlooked, but important factor to a successful recital. “Complaints,drama,victimmentality,whining,blaming,andallotherexcuseshavenevergottenyouevenasinglestepclosertoyourgoalsordreams.Letgo...Letgoofthedelusionthatyoudeservebetterandgoearnit!Todayisanewday!” -SteveMaraboli,UnapologeticallyYou:ReflectionsonLifeandtheHumanExperience
