Symphony players who teach

Author: Ralph G

For those symphony members who also teach at music schools, which is considered the "primary" job? How are schedules arranged? And are some teaching positions awarded as part of the symphony position, i.e. earn the principal chair and get a nice faculty spot at the local conservatory as well.

I guess I wonder how so many players with full-season orchestras manage to take students and run a studio at the same time they're juggling busy rehearsal and concert schedules -- or in Greg Smith's case, while also running his mouthpiece biz.

To answer your question simlpy,
To learn something or get something done right, ask a busy person.
We can always find time to help a serious and dedicated student.

Our orchestra's conductor also directs another group, plays in a professional symphony, a chamber group, and who knows what else. This guy must be the most organized man on the planet. And he is always cheerful, full of energy, and on time. Don't know how he does it. Some time I WILL ask him.
