i have been practicing to play in a "workshop." some teachers from the surrounding community has formed a group and if you are their student you can participate. my teacher hosted several of these before I had her as a teacher. there will be 8-10 adult students performing (mostly piano players). The host is a piano teacher who my clarinet teacher asked to accompany me and she said no. We weren't expecting this since it wont be a hard piece for her and she will already be at the workshop. so, I need to find a piano player or I wont be able to participate. We are hoping a piano student might want to for the experience, but if not, what is the appropriate amount to pay? it is 1 piece about 4-5 minutes long.

Call your local musician's union. They can give you the union rate for an accompanist in rehearsal and in concerts.
$200 seems a bit steep to me, union rates in Boston are around $50/hour I believe...

Depending on your area and the level of the pianist (amount of education, years of experience, etc) the rate will change.
Your best bet is to call as many local pianists as you can and ask about their fees for accompaniment. Chances are that they'll already have rates that they charge and you'll just have to decide if you want to pay or not.
Be prepared to talk about the length of the piece, level of the piece if possible, and what you have in mind for rehearsals, etc. Also mention the date of the workshop.

This is very debatable

Hello,
I have some contacts in Indianapolis (I assume that is where you are from your ISP address). If you'd like to contact me directly, and let me know what you'd like to pay, I will let you know about some pianists in your area. Good luck.
By the way, what are you playing? And, when is the performance?

Always pay your people well and they will bend over backwards to be there for you
then
You could just ask the pianist what his/her fee would be for the gig
what is it exactly you are providing as adivce??
I personally would contact a local union organisation, here the Musician's Union will provide a list of rates that it deems OK for musicans to charge for competent, qualified work (that's my Australian perspective).
If the person is Daniel Barenboim, then the sky's the limit.
Without music, the world would be grey, very grey.

Hi Diz!
The advice (always pay your people well) was given to me by one of my students Grandfathers - was a from book by Oxford Business Award Granter John Templeton (the £800,000 sterling Templeton award given yearly).
He believed strongly that if you pay your employees well they will be loyal to you and work hard.

Pianists rule the world. Treat them well. Hire the absolute best pianist who's willing to work with you, and pay them whatever they ask for.

Just find out how much they charge per hour/rehearsal/performence. Usually each player has its own set rate. Or your other opition is to due what I happen to do and date a pianist. :D
