Refer to the latest updates to event levels and required pieces here!
There was a clarification update regarding the Accompaniments section of the Bulletin rules. This is not for the separate Accompaniment Event which is separate.
- Accompaniments On p. 6 of the Bulletin, rule #1 states: If accompaniment is indicated in the score, accompaniment must be used.
-
This entire section is meant to apply only to non-piano events, i.e. voice, strings, woodwinds, etc. However, since many beginner piano books have written accompaniments for the pieces, some teachers are interpreting this rule literally and applying it to piano as well. Piano solos are traditionally unaccompanied. NO accompaniments are allowed for piano solo events.
