Confirm the repertoire, the edition, the key and any cuts before a rehearsal or a lesson
An agent can gather the list and flag missing scores. The accompanist still checks that the music in hand matches what will actually be performed.

Tasks, by type of work.
Each task has an experience tag (CX, SX or BX), a verdict, and example agents that often help with this kind of work. Agent suggestions come from our editorial scores, not vendor claims.
Inbox
Answer questions about availability, fees, rehearsal length and what to send in advance
Common questions can be drafted from the accompanist's terms. Anything about a particular program or a difficult reduction goes to the accompanist.
Collect scores, program lists and venue or exam details in one place
Checklists and reminders can chase the standard pack, so the accompanist is not arriving to an exam with the wrong edition.
Bookings & calendar
Schedule rehearsals, lessons, exams and performances around the client's diary
Finding times with teachers, candidates and venues, and sending reminders, is a scheduling job, especially in exam season.
Phone & voice
Talk through a last-minute repertoire change, a clash, or a performance that did not go as hoped
A last-minute repertoire change, a diary clash, or a performance that did not go as hoped needs a calm conversation, often close to an exam or a recital.
Spreadsheets & data
Log rehearsal and performance time against each client
Time can be prefilled from the calendar, which matters when several students and recitals overlap in the same week.
Documents
Prepare a simple rehearsal note or running order for a recital or exam session
An agent can draft a running order from the program. The accompanist checks tempi, repeats and any last-minute cuts.
Example agents: Grok Bot, Claude, Microsoft Copilot

Invoice the engagement from the agreed fee and any extra rehearsals
Invoices can be generated from the confirmed booking and signed extras, which keeps several small clients from sitting unbilled after exam week.
Customer chat
