Hi Mr. Askland,

My name is *name edited* and I am currently a sophomore in high school and I’m studying to major in piano. My dream one day is to play the piano/conduct/ and musical direct on Broadway. I was wondering could you possibly give me any advice that could help me achieve my goal.

Thank you so much

Good question.

1. Play your ass off.
2. Be nice to people.
3. Find people that are doing what you want to do, and find out how they got there.
4. Take responsibility for things not going perfect and figure out how to keep it from happening again.
5. Do not join a cover band, play private parties, weddings or casuals.
6. Be nice to people.
7. Play your ass off.

Pretty simple, huh?
