Yes, though it's quite separate from the music school.

I'm new to SMing, and want to learn more. What exactly do you mean by "timings?"

I'm very new to sming, and want to learn more. What is this I keep hearing about "timings," and 15 v. 30-second timings?

Stage Management: Other / How to get into Opera SMing?

Hey all,

I recently got back from a festival where I learned a bit about stage managing. I'm actually a pianist, but due to a rather funny story I ended up turning pages, taking notes, running water, etc. during rehearsals instead of actually playing. To be honest, I rather enjoyed it, and the assistant conductor suggested I look into stage management as a career. I'm currently in a bachelor program for piano pedagogy and intend on finishing the program (I'm going into my senior year as it is), but I'd really like to learn more about stage management and how to get into it from here. Any suggestions?
