Ask the Music Director part 2 - a podcast by David Lane

Several of you asked questions for music directors, and I got several across the country to answer.  We have music directors representing schools, community theatre, touring shows, and Broadway productions in this series, representing NYC, Chicago, Boston, DC, Cleveland, Kansas City, Greensboro, and Tennessee.

The questions answered in this part are:

“I see the music director as a mediator, keeping checks on the musicians, the cast, the stage hands, and production team.  How do you go about making everyone happy?”

“What do you prioritize and what kinds of skills have you gained to make each show that had totally different groups and dynamics, as successful as possible?”

“What kinds of crazy or unique things have you done to get your cast members to really SING or break out of their shell?”

“How do you unwind and de-stress during the long process of music directing a show?”

If you have a question to ask, or happen to be a music director who would like to participate in future questions, please contact me through the contact page at www.davidlanemusic.com/podcast
