Working as a Piano Accompanist
The profession of piano accompanist is one that is built on being offered. Since vocal accompaniment, instrumental accompaniment, and the skills required differ, it is difficult to become a professional right away just by taking accompaniment classes in college. Since the length of breath and the way it is felt differ from person to person, it is required to accompany while carefully considering the initiative. Also, the tone and resonance of each piece differs.
I was very surprised to learn that there is a free website called Piano Accompanist, because there is a huge number of piano accompanists registered on the site,
It is not easy to survive as a piano accompanist unless you are more strategic in your career development and branding.
Therefore, we have decided to organize the Basel International Piano Accompaniment Competition 2025 as a way to support your career development.
When you start getting some work, you often end up not really knowing what you are really doing, but through this competition, we will sincerely support you in improving your skills and career in piano accompaniment.
We have asked three piano accompaniment experts to serve as judges.
They are accomplished pianists who can play both vocal and instrumental accompaniment.
They will also be available for critique, so please be sure to enter.
We are sincerely looking forward to receiving your wonderful piano accompaniments.
