The Non-Musical Traits That Get You Hired as a Musician

When you get your first gigs for things like weddings, musical theatre, recording sessions, or even film scores and other opportunities, how do you make such a good impression that you rise to the top of the call list and stay there? As someone who has worked to be top of mind in this area for many such gigs, and as a music director who has hired more than 100 musicians, it's understood that your musical skills need to be good enough for the gig.  You don't have to play better than what's required, but you must be able to do that.  However, those are minimum requirements.  What gets you called back has nothing to do with your musical skill.  In this episode, I share my 11 observations for what puts a musician top of mind when I'm looking to hire.
