Help - my son is taking Dip on trombone on 30.6.04 at Glasgow. He has no accompanist - can anyone out there help him. I understand the music is very tricky.

Doesn't his teacher know anyone who could accompany him?

I had the same problem- my diploma is on the 28th of june, and up until yesterday i didnt have an accompanist because the music was so hard, and none of my usual accompanists could play it!
I eventually got one by asking round as many people as possible (which I assume you're doing)
try your local music centres/orchestras/schools. You could do an internet search for accompanists in your area or put an advert in the paper.
Good luck!

Have you tried the ISM.

Here is their webpage.

i cannot personally help as i am too far away but i think you should rather quickly either got to your local music shop and look at the noticeboard for such a person/can't his trombone teacher reccomend someone/look in yellow pages??
Hope these ideas help and good luck.

Hope you've found one by now. If not, have you tried asking your local music shops, or at the exam centre?

u might be better of asking in the teacher section for an accoponalment as they will proberly have played it before

sorry i cont help in any other way

try to ask on the teacher section as they will proberly be use to it

sorry i cont help in any other way

If you go to Musicteachers.co.uk you could do a search on your location + accompanists, and might strike lucky.

I tried it out (guessed your region as Strathclyde, don't know if that's quite right) and there is one accompanist listed. You'd need to check out credentials I guess, but might be worth a try if you still haven't found anyone.


best of luck

Where are the diplomas held in Glasgow? Is it at the RSAMD?
