Frequently asked questions
Does she read complex or unfamiliar parts at short notice?
Yes — sight-reading and a fast turnaround are a core part of session work, and a big part of why she's booked for it. Charts, click tracks or reference material sent in advance are always useful, but aren't required.
How far in advance should I book?
As much notice as you can give helps with scheduling, but short-notice bookings are often possible — see Checking availability above for how quickly she responds.
