Our pianist fees have been deliberately kept as accessible as possible while still fairly recognising the professional preparation, rehearsal time and expertise involved. We believe these rates offer excellent value and make professional piano accompaniment accessible to a wide range of performers. Our professional accompanists prepare specifically for each performance, and the fee reflects the rehearsal and preparation time required. The appropriate accompaniment level is determined by the difficulty and demands of the repertoire.

If an entry is submitted at an inappropriate level—for example, advanced sonata repertoire entered under the $45 standard accompaniment option—we reserve the right to cancel the entry and refund the performance fee less any applicable booking fees.

We ask all performers to assess their repertoire honestly and select the appropriate level. This ensures that our accompanists are fairly remunerated for their preparation and that every performer receives the rehearsal time and support necessary for a successful performance.

If you're unsure which option applies to your repertoire, please contact us at commonnook.au@gmail.com before registering and we'll be happy to advise you.
