Summer programs: a guide for survival and success

About this episode

The episode provides a solo reflection on how musicians can prepare for summer festivals and young artist programs.

In this installment, the patient listener is treated to a somewhat haphazard solo reflection on how musicians can brace themselves for their favorite time of year: summer festivals and young artist programs. Join your host as he talks you through a list of bullet points he made on his phone in the bathroom. Some may be obvious, but all are sure to help you put your best foot forward as you embark on your summer learning experiences, wherever they may be. So grab your suitcase, your best friend, and a complete stranger, and enjoy. And then, of course, go practice.
