Mastering the Bandstand is now on the site (click on "Lessons" and look to the right, listed under "Other Categories; Performance Training). Performing on the stage is the ultimate context for the studying musician. In this video lesson we (David Barrett, Dennis Gruenling, Rod Piazza & Joe Filisko) cover the many elements involved in live performance, from setting up so you can hear yourself to how to make a lasting impression on the audience.

Videos include:
How to set up to hear yourself on the bandstand
How to deal with a loud band
The importance of dynamics
Tools to use when working with a pickup band
Why harmonica players use positions in a performance
Should you play harp every song?
What our panel wants to hear when we're listening to another harmonica live
The panel plays!
