Solo Contest accompanists
NOW IS THE TIME!
Solo contest seems like it is a ways out, but now is the time to make arrangements for piano accompanists.
It is highly encouraged that anyone wanting to participate in the March 21st MISD solo contest should do these two things ASAP:
1. Look at our website and secure one of our approved accompanists. CLICK HERE
2. Order a hard copy of their solo through a music publisher (can take up to 6 weeks to arrive)
Here are two of our favorite music suppliers (PENDERS) AND (JWPEPPER)
If you have any further questions about securing a solo/accompanists, feel free to talk to a private lesson teacher or one of the Boyd band directors.
