Description
<p>Meet conductor and author, John Hughes. In this conversation, we discuss John’s new book, <em>Letters to a Young Conductor: Thoughts on Music and Life</em>, all about how to maintain joy in music-making, career development, and how to keep the big picture in mind. This is really the perfect episode following bonus #23 in December and Dr. Robertson in January! To get your primed for the convo, check out this blurb all about the book, but tune in to learn more! </p><p><br></p><p>"Letters to a Young Conductor: Thoughts on Music and Life is now available in print and on Apple Books. I wrote this with a younger version of myself in mind. Over four sections, “Mindset,” “In Rehearsal,” “In Concert,” and “Building A Career,” I offer the advice I wish I had listened to when I was first starting out. It’s a mix of philosophy and practical tips sprinkled with humor. Letters to a Young Conductor is an ideal read for people at the beginning of their careers, experienced directors looking for encouragement, and even people in leadership positions outside of music."</p><p><br></p><p>Learn more about “Letters to a Young Conductor: Thoughts on Music and Life” at www.johnchughes.com, <a href="https://books.apple.com/us/book/letters-to-a-young-conductor/id6448801303">https://books.apple.com/us/book/letters-to-a-young-conductor/id6448801303</a> and <a href="https://a.co/d/ilRdsz1">https://a.co/d/ilRdsz1</a> </p><p><br></p><p>Learn more about John Hughes at <a href="https://www.johnchughes.com/">https://www.johnchughes.com/</a> </p><p><br></p><p>Watch this episode on YouTube:<a href="https://youtu.be/l5vwKgyY6HM"> https://youtu.be/l5vwKgyY6HM</a></p><p><br></p><p>The Music (ed) Matters Podcast is sponsored by our friends over at Perform International.
