2024 will be a great year as Liv will be taking his BBC Concert Orchestra music out to a live audience, performing with symphony orchestras all over the country. Liv's tuxedo is always ready; he comes with musical charts brilliantly written by Tony Award winning Broadway and Hollywood composer, Bill Elliott. Bill and Livingston's longtime friendship go back to when they were in their 20's.

TRUEFIRE PRESENTS LIVINGSTON TAYLOR'S
THE STAGE PERFORMANCE PLAYBOOK
Liv now takes his course "on the road"

Livingston Taylor’s Stage Performance Playbook draws on 50 years of experience as a touring singer-songwriter and thousands of hours teaching the art and craft of stage performance as a Berklee College of Music professor. There’s simply no one better qualified to guide your rite of passage on your way to becoming a “great” performer.

This indispensable 5 1/2 hour Stage Performance masterclass includes 52 video lessons, 19 stage performance examples, and 11 homework assignments to help you assimilate the principles and make them your own.

You’ll learn how to conquer your obstacles and fears, engage an audience, and elevate your performances every time. You’ll learn how to keep stage fright at bay, how to draw the best playing out of your bandmates, and how to get past a bad flub onstage. He’ll show you how to internalize a beat to create an environment that captures and holds an audience. You’ll learn the value of coherent melodies, clean chords, crisp stage banter, and so much more.


LIVINGSTON TAYLOR'S QUOTE OF THE MOMENT

"Poems, paintings and songs mean different things to different people. If my song has moved someone, I let the song mean to them what they want it to mean, not necessarily what it means to me. The reality of your song is rarely as exciting as the audience's fantasy. The song may have imprinted itself on them with a memory that has nothing to do with you or your reason for writing it. A really good song holds something different for everybody." - 'Stage Performance' by Livingston Taylor

Happy 2024,
Livingston, Gail, Ralph and Julie
