TAMFERMABLES TV: this is this episode is the makings of a maestro and so you know we go in and we wonder well ⁓ what ⁓ is a maestro? Now here had that ⁓ baton that conductors baton ⁓ and the conductor is a maestro. Now hey look I have not had the opportunity to conduct the orchestra as of yet, but I directed a few bands and choirs and but a maestro is on a completely different level than a band director. Yeah. So I wasn't a maestro when I was a band director, but now today another type of maestro is a composer. am by the grace of God, a composer. Therefore I am Maestro, better known as Dr. Furman. Well, some people have been requesting to meet Junebug, but they will meet Junebug in the series, the seven years of in-laws. But yeah, we'll see that for later. But back to Maestro, the word Maestro also means teacher. and or a master probably a mastery he probably masters the music and in most cases just like just like other degrees and things of that nature or what you call it uh disciplines in education academia that it takes about eight to fifteen years of study of education and music music education me oh i have about 16 years 16 years of private informal music education and half of those years I studied directly in music arranging and orchestration. I studied that for about eight years, some private and some, like I said, some formal. But today I am, I am by the grace of God, let me tell you, I am by the grace of God, capable. to compose music for a 65 piece orchestra, even on paper notations. But hey, look, if it come down to heavy metal, a three piece with an extra guitar or something on the side, yeah, I can deal with that also. I started communicating with a young man concerning that. But nevertheless, let me tell you, now I'm gonna tell you straight up. I don't know all the markings, the dots and the symbols that are used in composing music. But when I sit, and notate music? No, not out the top of my mind, not all that stuff. It's quite a bit, quite intense. And I haven't had a whole lot of orchestrations to put on paper. I haven't had that kind of work. You know, I did it. I learned it, especially in school. But, you know, one day maybe it'll be used somewhere, used in this kind of stuff. But not off the top of my head, but just like a good attorney, just like a good attorney. Hey, if he fighting a good case, he gonna bring out the books, he gonna get them off the shelf and things of that nature. He gonna fight a good case. So it is with music. The same thing. You know, I'm sit down, I'm gonna get my music books and I'm gonna sit down. Like I say, I don't keep it all in my head. It's quite a bit. Maybe one day I'll be able to keep it all up there. But so to put together a good case that applies with music to put together a good piece of orchestrated music. Yeah. I have to use books. I'm gonna keep on using them as long as they... You know, it's just like doing homework. You dictionary or doing your studies in the... with the church or the Bible, whatever you do. You got extra books. Thesaurus and things of that nature. So to have the books, books are very good for anybody. You know, good books.
