Music Team

The Music Team provides musical expertise to a production, must have strong communication and organizational skills, and be able to work collaboratively with the show's Director and cast. It is essential that the production's Director, Music Director, and Vocal Director have an ongoing and mutually supportive collaboration. The Director communicates his or her vision of the show, and the Music Director and Vocal Director use their understanding of the show's musical demands to help the Director (and cast) be successful. The Assistant Music Director and Accompanist work with the Music Director and Vocal Director to aid in that goal.
