On August 26, 2024, the long-time popular notation app called Finale announced that it would be permanently discontinuing all of its software, leading to very vocal anxiety and panic among its many veteran users. Professional composers and arrangers, as well as educators all need a good notation app, but Finale is no longer a choice.

How can you plan a music rehearsal that is efficient and effective? In the world of musical theatre, the music director is responsible for planning music rehearsals to teach all vocal parts to a cast where not everyone sings on every song. There's also only a few rehearsals available to teach everything. Planning good music rehearsals requires organization and creativity.

The Four Core Performance Skills part 5 - Improvising

Musicianship Mastery with David Lane ·

2024/08/19

The final core performance skill to explore is the ability to improvise. This is a skill that is very natural to some musicians (and even non-musicians) and very mysterious and perhaps even scary to others. And yet, it's the oldest of all the skills, the earliest way to create music. It's also essential for every genre other than classical (and there was a time it was expected there as well). Finally, it's the most pure way of learning how music works by disassembling it and putting it back

The Four Core Performance Skills part 4 - Transposing

Musicianship Mastery with David Lane ·

2024/08/12

Transposing is unique among the core skills in that it's the only one that is dependent on one of the other skills. Being able to play well while reading music or by listening is required to give you a starting point. The ability to take a piece of music from any source and change it to any of the other keys is a distinctive skill because it focuses on understanding music from a relative sense rather than absolute. It requires you to think about WHY you're playing a certain note or chord rather

The 4 Core Performance Skills are the big skills that every musician should strive to master to be the most balanced and well-rounded musician possible, and to have success as a performer in EVERY situation. The first of these core skills is sight reading. Sight reading not only gives you essentially a head start on learning new music, it is ESSENTIAL for many jobs such as accompanists, studio session players, and theatre musicians. Orchestral musicians get such little time with their music

Practice Success: The Power of the Subconscious Mind

Musicianship Mastery with David Lane ·

2024/07/15

Simply put: you can't play music well unless you're subconscious mind is driving the bus. If you're aware of having to think about each note, each rhythm, each aspect of the music before you play it, then you're still practicing with your conscious mind. When you train your technique and repertoire beyond the point of awareness where your hands just seem to play by themselves, you have entered the subconscious zone with your music, and this is where the fun begins!

Have you ever thought you had a piece memorized only to play it for someone and you start having memory slips? This is one of many common problems that can be solved through a process of troubleshooting, the same that an auto mechanic or computer technician might use. Dr. Larry Weng of Wake Forest University talks about this approach of problem solving for your practice to find out what is really going on when surprises happen.
