Weston-super-Mare Show Choir Pianist Vacancy
This is a wonderful opportunity for a pianist who enjoys accompaniment, community music-making, and being part of something uplifting and meaningful.
About Us
The People’s Show Choir is a charity dedicated to bringing people together through singing. We’re proud to create an environment of belonging, encouragement, confidence-building and joy — welcoming singers of all backgrounds and abilities.
The Role
You will accompany weekly rehearsals, supporting a well-established choir that sings mainly music from stage and screen, with occasional material from rock and pop. You will always be provided with written piano scores in advance, and while sight-reading is a helpful bonus, it is not essential. Warm-ups and rehearsal structure are led by the choir leader, and you will be guided clearly in advance regarding any warm-up accompaniment needed.
