Tape your sheets!

This week I will be auditioning for a musical, so I will talk about that.

A lot of people make this very common mistake. Although it varies according accompanist, generally piano accompanists would prefer sheet music to be taped back to back. This makes it easy for the pianist to open up the sheet music and look at it from page, taped at the edges.

A lot of people just bring in songs with sheet music by the folder, which is not rejected, but is not preferred due to the pianist having to manually flip pages after every sheet.

Taping Sheet music!

This video above basically states what I mean by taping sheet music together. The pianist may very well be the musical director for your show, so make sure you are on good terms with he/she because he/she could be the making or breaking point of you getting the role you want!
