- Four reasons to hire musicians (not necessarily
as musicians) (2006/05/23)
- Musicians really understand hard deadlines because of their
concerts and recitals.
- Musicians understand team work because
that's what they learn when they play together.
- Musicians are disciplined
as they practiced 4-6 hours a day, everyday for a number
of years.
- 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!
