Understand your role and learn the formula for “getting the call.” During this master class, pro bassist Declan Miers focuses on how professionalism, etiquette on the bandstand, being mindful of your surroundings, and “getting in where you fit in” has helped him make the cut as a touring musician and session player—and how they can help you do the same.
