Testimonials "Andy Boysen’s book is the BEST thing that has happened for conducting/rehearsal techniques courses in the last many, many years! It’s brilliant- and it was especially helpful to use during Zoom teaching/Covid although … I would integrate into any rehearsal techniques course. So great that you published it!" - ELIZABETH B.
