Letters to a Young Conductor: Thoughts on Music and Life is written 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.
