Even when you're unexperienced, when the teacher is charging the students extra for live accompanying, you should at least get paid something ! True. Even if you are "learning on the job", you are still working and DOING the job, so deserve to be paid or compensated in some way. BUT, if you are generally fuera compas, missing endings constantly, and don't really "get it" or just practicing your solos or techniques while they 'dance to it", that is not really doing your job. Or you should be "fired", [:D]. But most teachers forgive these mistakes if you are learning, but for god's sake you should not be charging if you can't keep a beat. So best is to ask the teacher while understanding where YOU stand as a player at the same time. Number one problem I find with students playing for dance is tempo. If teahcer says, please don't speed up, and you say "I was going with you guys....", umm, you are not helping the class, nor are you learning. Holding down the tempo the teacher wants is priority one. Ricardo
