Tips for Professional Behavior - Every item on this list is there because someone has been fired from a gig (or never called back) because of it. Your reputation is arguably your most valuable possession from a professional standpoint. Prof. Wilson put together this sheet to help you avoid the most common mistakes young professionals make.
Working with Collaborative Pianists - Tips collected by Prof. Wilson to ensure that we treat our pianists respectfully and professionally, and that your experience with them is as positive and productive as possible.
