    Wow, I love your way of rehearsing! It's very effective and although your attitude is pretty relaxing, I can feel the high standards and requirements that you have.
    I'd love to play in an orchestra you conduct :) So bad I'm a typical classical player so I only play the clarinet (at least I can play all instruments in that family).
    Great video :)

      Thanks so much! Remember, not doubling on flute and the saxes does not disqualify you for musical theatre pit work. For many of the older or more classical shows I often hire the clarinet/bass clarinet double. Thanks again for your kind feedback!

    Wow!
    What are those triangles making the hole of the pit smaller? I don't know how to say that in English 😆

    I have a question. For the musical "Cats" is Reed I Tenor Saxophone heavy? And if it is, does it have particular solos somewhere in this musical? Please respond soon

  • @cfornara3
    @cfornara3  Před 12 lety +4

    i assume from your question that you are more comfortable on flute than tenor? My friend who played reed one for me and also on the european tour says that there are a couple of different arrangements, but it's usually picc, flute, soprano and tenor. the tenor solos are in tugger and the tugger playoff, but most exposed stuff is on flute. good luck!

    Actually for the "3 on 2" part of the overture it's ok written as it is because it's actually in 12/8 so it's plain quarters, not triplets.

    Hello. I would like to ask you about song in 1m33s. Could you tell me how is called this song ? Best Regards

    • @cfornara3
      @cfornara3  Před 8 lety +2

      it's growlitger's aria/duet with griddlebone from "growltiger's last stand," which is in gus the theatre cat's memory of his early life at the beginning of act 2. it replaced the original "ballad of billy mccaw."
