This week I sit down with Max Kiesner, director at our local city college to talk about how he's adjusting to his new gig, and what universal concepts he tries to teach whether he's in front of a bunch of green freshmen, a high powered performance ensemble or a bunch of adults who may or may not practice as much as we'd all like. It's a grab bag of sorts but it was a very insightful conversation.
