| | What they don't teach you at Bandleader School |
 | | The bandleader's stand faces the front of the stage, and has a detachable shelf covering the music stand, on which the bandleader places his program, music, announcements, etc., and reads the music from the front of the stand. | | | After rehearsal, it is your privilege as bandleader to look over all the instrument parts, correct the master parts and re-photocopy them, and replace the faulty parts in the music folders. | | | for the purpose of conning you little old ladies and/or intimidating your musicians, the ultimate reason for all of this is strengthening your position as bandleader, that is acquiring more power, even then, the music must be notated; that is, a part generated for each musician of the ensemble to play. |

| | Ted Heath (bandleader) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Heath (in common with many other bandleaders at the time) allowed no unrehearsed improvising, however, and the orchestra was known for its note-perfect perfectionism. | | | His huge success lasted for about fifteen years, ended only by the popularity of rock and roll and the advent of The Beatles. | | | The orchestra was on the cusp between dance music and jazz; not only did Heath employ many of the big-name British jazz-musicians at various times, but his staff arranger was Tadd Dameron, and his programmes of straight dance music were supplemented by projects such as his recording of Fats Waller's London Suite. |
