  • Four reasons to hire musicians (not necessarily as musicians) (2006/05/23)
    1. Musicians really understand hard deadlines because of their concerts and recitals.
    2. Musicians understand team work because that's what they learn when they play together.
    3. Musicians are disciplined as they practiced 4-6 hours a day, everyday for a number of years.
    4. Musicians are creative, not only artistically, but because they are always thinking about ways to be effective in their practice so that they can finish practicing and party!
