Last night DR Jeanne posted this query: I don't know how you work on one chart while listening to other music. Don't you need to "hear" the piece you're working on in your head?
I'm not composing, I'm only orchestrating, and to me it's like sitting down with a coloring book and filling in the colors. If I were composing, i'd want quiet and to be near a piano to work out the kinks.
I think it's time for "Lost in Boston 5" and "Unsung Musicals 4."
