Skills that make you employable

• Sight reading

  Theater pits, session work and orchestras all hand you music you have never seen and expect it played.

• Doubling

  A reed player who covers flute, clarinet and saxophone gets the pit gig over someone who covers one.

• Home recording

  Session players now record their parts at home and send files. This is normal, not a shortcut.

• Arranging and producing

  The work that pays in daylight hours and does not depend on your hands holding up.
