Accompanists are super valuable in a choir setting. If you can be the accompanist, you will save the school money. But, at the same time, being a director only can help students do their best, while having an accompanist on the side. Just communicate your preference to the administration up front.

"I believe being an accompanist and directing or directing only with an accompanist have their values. I am fine with whatever helps the school. Personally, my preference would be to have an accompanist for concerts, but I can be the accompanist during rehearsals."
