except when it's in church and i'm playing the organ! i feel like stopping and yelling "i'm the one with the music! i know how it actually goes and i AM playing the right notes" but they'd probably never let me play again hehe!
i'm so glad i didn't end up accompanying for my friend's gcse prac! halfway through she played a really loud note so she jumped and got scared and didn't play for ages! my violin teacher may be a really bad pianist but he kept with her! i wouldn't have been able to do that!

Know what you mean! And there is an awful hesitation at the beggining of a hynm too by the pious churchgoers. Once i played a jazz riff on the call to church bells instead of the formal scales. I got sacked by the vicar and his face was purple with rage, but at least it got the congregation talking!

lol! i'd love to do something like that but the vicar hates me enough already because the other organist is the old vicar's son but i play more than him.
but anyway, i'm going off topic. so...accompanying....

Try this for a laugh. Left hand play in a key a semitone below the right hand. and off topic, theologically speaking all vicars are off key in my book.

actually at the orchestra's christmas concert three orchestras were doing a load of hymns, and there were 9 bassoonists in total. 3 played in F# (inc me), 3 in B and 3 in E when everyone else was in F... gives a new meaning to angry bees!

Tried accompanying once - hated it. I hate following others' styles, I much prefer my own!
