Can't read music? Don't have any technique? The Blue Man Group Band will hire you!

Can't read music? Don't have any technique? The Blue Man Group is looking for you. Here are some  quotes from the Blue Man Group Musician Casting Website:
  • "If you do the right thing and put your mind, body and soul into the music, then it really doesn't matter (...) how technically skilled a musician you are," Todd Perlmutter, Creative Development Music Director. 
  • "You need to have a good ear; pick things up quickly by ear. We're not necessarily looking for people who can read music," Byron Estep, Associate Music Director.
  • "It takes talent to play with another drummer because that's an unusual situation. Your technical skill level doesn't have to be astronomical. Your musical level has to be astronomical." Tood Perlmutter.
  • During casting, "we study your physical characteristics while playing. (...) Is it with power? Grace?"
