Michael Repper, Conductor: The Value Of Mentorship In Music Education Today

What you'll hear: The importance of being proactive and speaking up for what you want in your career - no matter what your age. The value of going for a career in your youth - and not believing or listening to that “you’re too young” The value of *mentorship* and having a mentor you trust in the professional field you aim for guiding you in your next career move The mindset about success that Mike thinks everyone should drop like a hot potato There’s being in the right place - and PUTTING yourself in the right place - Mike goes into this distinction The value of a mentor who *isn’t* another musician Why it’s never too early to give back to people even if you’re just starting out New music - the expectation you need to drop if you’re ever going to give new music a chance (I had to hear this one for myself!)
