This Old Rehearsal Hall: Navigating the Construction and Makeover Projects Pt 1
What things should an educator consider when looking at a possible new construction for a rehearsal room, or an addition or makeover of the existing rehearsal space? Season 2 of the Ask Mike Podcast starts with a two-part response to this question submitted to the podcast.
