After thought on the ABRSM conference

20111128-210741.jpg

The ABRSM conference Inspiring Success was held on November 4-5, 2011 at the Intercontinental Stanford hotel. The workshops were all great. There they told you exactly what they will be looking for in exams and what you need for pass, merit, and distinction. Besides the grading, the “planning” and the Orff sections were awesome. Those were not only fun, but they were also great inspirations. The aural section too, was very informative. :). I’m so glad to have attended it.

Orchestra = Organization

Anything can be converted into a piece of musical instrument.  Here is a video of the HP commercial where the office has turned into an orchestra.  :)

After watching this video, I can relate how an orchestra could be an miniature anlogy to an organization.

Conductor = CEO
Different instrument families = Different departments (such as Sales, HR, IT, Accounting, Financing, Admin, etc)
Musicians = Employees of the organization 

The conductor leads the orchestra, just like the CEO is the leader of an organization.
Every musicians is important to an orchestra just as every department and every employee is important to an organization.  The organization won’t take shape without anyone of them.
