Episode 270 - Tips To Emphasize Good Tone All The Time

Episode 270 - Tips To Emphasize Good Tone All The Time I once had a colleague - a feeder of my school - who stated, "You know what, I'm not going to worry too much about tone, posture, and all those other things.

In this episode I share a plethora of tips that will help you focus on a good tone every day, every rehearsal, every student, every time.
