Guidelines

• Availability is limited! Submitting the request form early and before the deadline is essential. 
• A collaborative pianist may be available for a maximum of 10 hours per semester per student (including rehearsals, lessons, studio classes, departmentals, and recitals), with some exceptions. We kindly ask that you plan accordingly. 
• Priority is given to students with upcoming degree recitals who submit requests on time. 
• Faculty submissions on behalf of students are not accepted. 

Spring Semester 2026 Deadlines

• Degree Recital Requests: 
  • The form will open on Friday, Jan. 2. 
  • The degree recital request deadline is Wednesday, Jan. 21. 

Requests submitted after the deadline will not be accepted. 

• All Other Events: 
  • Requests must be submitted at least two months in advance of studio recitals, degree recitals, departmental events, or juries. 
    • This includes faculty requests for guest artist master classes or recitals.

Student Responsibilities

• Provide a score (PDF or hard copy) well in advance of the first rehearsal. 
• Arrive prepared, punctual, and respectful. 
• Do not schedule a rehearsal if you have not thoroughly studied the PIANO part and know how all parts align. 
• Communicate promptly about scheduling, repertoire, and any changes. 
• Notify both your pianist and Dr. Chubak (chubak.2@osu.edu) if you cancel or change repertoire.
• For recordings or services outside of Ohio State, students are responsible for arranging private compensation. If no pianist is available for a request, we can provide recommendations for pianists for hire.
