Jean📚❤️ :
I am NOT a good piano player and we don’t have an accompanist. Still a high scoring program! I manage with finale accompaniments and LOTS of solfège:)

Non-pianist here. Between using vocal modeling, and utilizing technology, I manage pretty well at the MS level. BUT I do not recommend. Go practice!

Kali Stiles :
I can play 2-3 parts at a time, and warm-ups. Technology has been my friend and I get by pretty well. But I've grown even more since I started

And if your piano skills are bad bad, get trained in Kodaly methodology— no piano necessary. I agree that piano skills are helpful, but not required!

I think things are much easier if you play, but my skills are severely lacking and we do just fine. I have hella good readers, though!

I managed ok teaching middle school and my skills are pretty minimal. But I have always thought that my piano skills have held me back.

High school choir teacher here who sucks at piano! I struggle with putting it all together, but having to play every day forces me to get better.

Just need to know enough to go through a rehearsal and play parts! Chords help too! Fake it until you make it!

How common is it for students to be accompanists (esp. high school)? My senior year I was the accompanist for my middle and high school choirs

King ✨Julian✨ :
In my opinion, you need to know how to play to teach any kind of vocal class. You can’t be a vocal teacher without it

Baby_Bri_Bri_Bri :
Yep. In my district, I accompany the high school choirs and that teacher accompanies my middle school. But only in concerts. I can't imagine doing my job without my piano skills.

Elementary- I’ll play their line as they learn it but we generally sing with recordings or finale.

Austin Cunningham :
Imo playing piano as a music teacher is literally non-negotiable. I’m so glad my music school required it

I have pretty good piano skills. I get asked to take student teachers and I refuse to take them if they can’t play!
