Fiona, that's a great question. Since getting back into singing recently,
the pianist has been provided. Years ago the payment of pianists always
made me cringe. No one ever told me what to pay them and they never seemed
to bring it up. I ended up paying them a flat rate and what I thought was
acceptable. The pianist always agreed to work with me in the future, so I
guess they were happy.
But it's an important question and I'd love to hear more about what everyone
else does. What about payment for practice sessions vs. performance?

Which brings me to another question, just off hand - how do most singers
pay their pianists? that is, 1) how do they afford the really good ones,
and 2) do they charge by hour or by gig? Just curious. I know what I do
here, but i'm wondering if things are different in other parts of the world
or even North America.
