Accompanying William Wieland
Musicians frequently ask me to accompany or collaborate with them. I am flattered, but I cannot say yes to everyone.
Please allow me to look at the music for a week and I will determine if I am able to perform it.

I try to adhere to the following guidelines:
  • Approximately 3 Large Commitments per Semester — Factors include difficulty (practice time) and rehearsal time.
  • Large commitments must be spaced about a month apart and limited to roughly 30 minutes of music because I am not a concert artist.
  • Only One Student per Senior Recital

I reserve the right to say yes or no to any request.
I am more likely to say yes if I know the music.
I am more likely to say yes if I really like the music.
I am more likely to say yes if the performance is in Aberdeen.


My pecking order:
  1. Colleagues and Guest Artists
  2. NSU Ensembles
  3. Senior Recitals
  4. Concerto/Aria Competition
  5. Scholarship Auditions
  6. Other Student Competitions
Accompanying Fees
If you’re reading this, you’re probably a poor college student. I don’t want to ask you for money, but every other accompanist charges. It would be unfair to other students if I accompanied some students for free.

Senior Recital — $200 total ($100 up front and $100 the day of the recital — I will perform any recital music at studio classes, convocations, competitions, and/or recordings for free BEFORE the recital.)

Concerto/Aria Competition — $100 total ($50 up front and $50 the day of the competition — I will perform any competition music at studio classes, convocations, and/or recordings for free BEFORE the competition.)

Weekly Rehearsals — Free — I want to encourage you to rehearse with me.
