RE-COPY YOUR SHEET MUSIC
➡️ Accompanists read left to right. We see the top left corner of the page, we read across to the right, then we drop down and do it again. Left to right. Always forward, never back.
🎼 But sometimes your sheet music throws in repeat signs or directives like “D.S. al Coda” and “D.C. al Fine” that make us have to go back to the left. That’s not good for the audition room.
📖 Page turns should always go forward, never backward. Because any time I don’t know where to go, I can’t focus on playing your song.
📑 So recopy the music so that I keep turning forward. Add the repeated pages onto the end and remove any measures you don’t want played.
🤡 Make it foolproof. Make it go left to right.
