■Regarding Accompanists

Instead of trying to align with the schedule and time of the accompanist, we will look for an accompanist who can meet according to the performer’s schedule.

■Q & A regarding accompanists

Q “Because I’m unable to meet with the accompanist according to their schedule, would you be able to adjust the date and time for me?”
A “There may be cases where we are unable to adjust the date and time.”

●Transportation costs can be expensive for performers travelling from far away. As we believe monetary burdens will lessened if you request an accompanist, we recommend a specialized accompanist.
