  • Fascinating, wide-ranging “shoptalk” — life as a musician

    Leah Roseman, an extremely fine professional musician herself, is endlessly curious about her fellow musicians. You meet musicians in all sorts of genres .... practice and training habits, instrument building and maintenance, career ups and downs, collaborations and communication, performance anxieties, teaching practices, improvisation, being a multi-instrumentalist, player injuries, the importance of general fitness.. and on and on. Just wonderful!
