The above quote is taken from a great interview with Principal Trombonist of the Boston Symphony Toby Oft. He discusses his history with taking professional auditions and it's a great read.
You can find the interview here on his website.
I am a professional musician who has performed in over 35 countries around the world. I am the creator of The Entrepreneurial Musician, a consulting service, podcast and blog preparing today’s musician for tomorrow’s reality. I am also the owner of Pedal Note Media, a digital media company. And I’ve seen the band Phish 205 times. No, really.
