The Art of Talking and the Pod Cast

Hello again! I am now the interview lady! I call, make appointments with musician friends who are consumed with their own schedules and concerts and students and they
graciously make some time for me. I thought all the class members might be interested in reading some of the questions I have asked my "podcast" guests to choose from:

1.) In the Jazz World: What educational attitudes or “skills as an educator “ do you appreciate the most?

2)Could you describe your most enlightening teaching moment as well as the most thrilling performing moment – and link them together in some way?

3) Classical music and jazz styles are both found in the music conservatory now.
Why is it important for classically trained musicians and singers to have a working knowledge of Jazz – and for jazz players to have a working knowledge of Classical?

4) how do you as an educator want to expand ? Have you developed a workshop idea.. and if you have, how is teaching in the workshop environment for you?

5) let’s talk a little bit about what to teach – how do you balance technique and songs/pieces or repertoire ?

6) What recording do you yourself treasure and want to pass on to students ?

7) Have you started working with Logic or Finale? Do you use the computer for recording? If so, does personal computer recording help your playing? Teaching?

8) What is your goal when you play live at a venue? Do you think about education when you sing/ or play?

9) Do you feel that working on performance is relevant ?

Ask yourself a question from time to time...
From a non- techno standpoint, I find that I make people comfortable- and all the interviews so far have been intelligently done.
