Some pianists have asked me what is considered enough practice time for various specials.
Here’s a general list of practice guidelines.
Vocal soloists:
At least 2 weeks in advance with no less than 3 practice sessions.
Duets, Trios, Quartets and other vocal ensembles:
At least one month in advance depending on the difficulty of the song. This involves at least 5 practices.
Practice is the key to effective communication! It is the singer or musician’s responsibility to schedule their practices with the church pianist or other accompanist (with the exception of ensembles).
