A guide to booking

Hire Accompanists

Professional accompanists provide essential musical support for singers, instrumentalists, and students across all genres and performance contexts. These skilled musicians, most often pianists, specialise in supporting other performers while maintaining perfect timing, dynamics, and musical sensitivity throughout each piece.

What Professional Accompanists Offer

Skilled piano accompanists bring years of training and performance experience to every engagement. Many work alongside cellists and other string players in chamber music settings, while others specialize in vocal accompaniment for opera and art song repertoire. Professional keyboard players often collaborate with brass musicians in contemporary arrangements. These musicians provide sight-reading expertise, musical interpretation guidance, and reliable rhythmic foundation that allows soloists to perform with confidence.

Events and Performance Contexts

Accompanists perform at weddings, recitals, masterclasses, auditions, and examination settings. Student musicians frequently require accompaniment for grade examinations and competition performances. Professional singers and instrumentalists hire accompanists for concert appearances, recording sessions, and special events. Chamber orchestras sometimes feature piano accompanists in reduced orchestral arrangements, while solo performers work with accompanists to present intimate recital programs.

Accompanist Rates and Fees

Professional accompanist fees typically range from $75 to $650+, with most engagements averaging $260. Pricing varies based on repertoire complexity, performance duration, rehearsal requirements, and the accompanist's experience level. Classical repertoire and sight-reading intensive work often command premium rates, while simple chord progressions and familiar songs may cost less.

Photo of AB Smooth AB Smooth "He was professional, delivery was on point. He arrived on time and made our event colourful. Would love to have him again" Based in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa 31st July 2026 Josh - Club Photo of David Sax David Sax "Absolutely incredible! He was one of the highlights of our wedding. So many guests came up to us saying how amazing he was and asking where we found him. Super talented, easy to work with, and brought such a great vibe to the night. We’d book him again in a heartbeat." Based in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada 2nd August 2026 Kevin Ansems - Wedding Photo of Trumpet for events Trumpet for events "Dear Pete Amazing to see The Godfather video here. It's really made me smile and brought back fabulous memories of our lovely day. My husband could not believe his ears when he heard the opening of The Godfather as we stood at the church door and it is definitely something neither of us or our guests will ever forget. So cool! The Charpentier was perfect as we walked down the aisle - bright and cheerful and uplifting - and you made our organist very happy. Thank you, too, for playing Che La Luna Mezzo Mare as our guests moved through the hotel from the reception to the wedding breakfast, and the fanfare as we entered the ballroom. Honestly, Pete, you gave the sparkle and polish to our day. For anyone reading this review, Pete is a fantastic musician and a top-notch professional. I booked Pete as a surprise for my husband because he had this thing about trumpeters playing from the raised pew that is in the church where we had our service . Pete was really flexible in listening to and responding to every request. He also made a number of suggestions to enhance the music I asked for and sent several videos so that I got exactly what I wanted. I can't remember what the fee was now but I can tell you it was worth every penny. Every single one! Thanks again, Pete.

She kept in contact with me throughout the process. She was on time for the event and started promptly at the start time of the event. Without her services, our event wouldn't have been as great as it was. She is an amazing Musician. I would recommend Serena for any event you may have, small or large. Thanks so much, Serena!"
