\u00bfPor qu\u00e9?<\/p>\n

Musicians understand dynamics (louds and softs). They know when and how to drop their voice to a whisper or deliver a forceful phrase.<\/p>\n

Musicians understand the power of the pause. They know how a pause adds punctuation and generates intrigue.<\/p>\n

Musicians understand the importance of phrasing. They know when a short phrase is appropriate and when a longer statement should be made.<\/p>\n

Musicians understand how to listen. They know that listening should be constant, whether or not they are contributing to the overall sound.<\/p>\n

Musicians understand how to respond. They know how to take turns and how to support and encourage their colleagues.<\/p>\n

Musicians understand how to blend. They know how harmonies are built and change.<\/p>\n

Musicians understand how to lead. They know how and when to establish or further develop a theme.<\/p>\n

Musicians understand live performance. They know how to connect with and react to an audience.<\/p>\n

Musicians understand the importance of having a plan. They know when the score is to be performed precisely and when to improvise; and groups of musicians know they need to agree on parameters such as timing, key, and instrumentation.<\/p>\n

Musicians know how to end. They understand the importance of the last chord, phrase, and dynamics, and how that finish impacts the audience.<\/p>\n

And each of these has its equivalent in presenting demos!<\/p>\n

“It’s not the notes you play, it’s the notes you don’t play.”<\/p>\n

\u2013 Miles Davis<\/p>\n

If you are a musician, take advantage of these attributes when you are presenting demos. If you are no<\/em> a musician, see Chapter 15 \u201cStyle\u201d in Great Demo! for many of these ideas, but without the music!<\/p>\n
