Find an Accompanist at PianoAccompanists.com

PianoAccompanists.com - The easiest way to find an accompanist

This new website provides a valuable service in supplying information about accompanists based on location. If you're looking for an accompanist (or as many of us prefer to say, "collaborative pianist") just visit the site and plug in your postcode (or zip code) and country. The site then loads a list of registered accompanists closest to your area. It already supports location searches in 32 different countries so far!

After looking around the site a bit I decided to join it myself. Registration is incredibly easy. One can supply a profile (qualifications, fees, etc.) and have it available in a couple of minutes. See mine here.

The site was started by two freelance musicians from the Royal Academy of Music in London. There is also a discussion forum where musicians and other users can interact and discuss pertinent topics.
