What is it about some musicians and
performers who consistently achieve success?
Are they the best performers? Did they have
the best teachers? Do they have the best
professional contacts and connections? Is it
just coincidence? Of course not!
Dr.
Steve Zegree of Western Michigan
University, choral arranger and
conductor of Western Michigan's Gold Company
has developed this practical guide for
performers, students, teachers and parents
which offers fundamental philosophies and
concepts that are essential to a person's
growth and development and will contribute to
a successful professional life in music. More
than just the basics, more than a prescribed
curriculum, and more than just getting in
front of an audience to go through the motions
of what you did in rehearsal – call it
the Wow Factor – there is something
for everyone in this book!
And, as a special bonus, Chapter 8 offers
interviews with great performers from all
facets of the music industry including: Simon
Carrington, Nick Lachey, Ward Swingle, Roger
Emerson, Mac Huff, Liza Minnelli and many
more!

Chapter 1: The
Wow Factor: The Framework
Chapter 2: How
to Practice and Rehearse for The Wow Factor

Ands or Buts and Rules to Live By
