Pushback

⚠️ Bad Deal / Rep Dump

I appreciate you thinking of me. Looking at this list, it's mostly advanced repertoire (Hindemith, Creston, etc.), which requires significantly more preparation time. For this workload, my rate would be $100/student minimum. I can't go lower than that for this level of difficulty. If you're able to redistribute some of the harder pieces to another accompanist, I'd be glad to discuss a different rate for a more balanced load.
