Conductor

Job Description

Roger is an organist, music teacher and conductor in a variety orchestra. This last activity includes searching for new contracts and dealing with the clients, as well as handling the advertising and administrative tasks. His band with 7 musicians performs in a perimeter of 300 km around Nancy.

Getting the job

He had a standard musical education with piano and organ. Finding it difficult to be a pianist who carries all his material by himself, he studied further to become a conductor.

Adjustments

Given that as a conductor he has to carry all the heavy material around, like the light and sound systems, he has a car with driver. He also has a part-time secretary to help him with the administrative tasks.
