Interview Question Answer Examples

From: Indeed.com

How would your previous bandmates describe you and your work ethic?

People may ask this question to learn what it'd be like to play in a band or orchestra with you. You'll typically spend the majority of your time with your bandmates, so knowing how easy you are to collaborate with could be important. Be honest as you answer and think about any positive comments you've received in the past that make you a valuable member of the team and an enjoyable person to work with.

Example: "My bandmates would say that I'm always positive and encouraging, even on days where we don't play as well as we usually do. I'm always working to cheer everyone up, even if we're all tired from traveling or feel burnt out from the many concerts we've been playing at. I constantly try to find ways to get my bandmates pepped up and excited so that we can perform our best at every show."

Are there any past instructors you look up to? What qualities did they have that you admire?

The type of people you look up to often say a lot about who you are as a person and who you aspire to be. This answer tells employees that you're striving to improve yourself to match the qualities that your previous mentor or instructor had. Your answer should clearly describe your instructor's positive attributes and what you're doing to match these qualities and perform as effectively as them.

Example: "An instructor I've always seen as a mentor was my professor in my music composition from my sophomore year of college. This instructor was so passionate about writing new pieces and using emotion to guide their compositions. If I was ever stuck on a piece, they would have me take a deep breath, clear my head and then return to my piece, which I still do. They always taught me to take my time with writing, rather rush or put pressure on the creative process, which are methods I still practice each day when I'm composing."

What would you do if the audience was reacting negatively or being distracting during your performance?

Your interviewer may want to understand how you'll react to unexpected situations while you're on stage. This tells them how professional and calm you are when handling a negative situation. They're typically looking for performers who will maintain their composure and uphold a positive image on stage. As you answer this, try to remain honest and professional as you explain how you'd maturely handle this situation.

Example: "As a musician, it's common to experience a negative or distracting crowd during a performance. I think it's important to remain calm during this situation and to continue performing my best on stage. If they continue to remain distracting during my performance, I'll wait until the next scheduled break to find the stage manager and will ask them to escort the audience member out of the building if they're distracting other attendees. I'll tell myself not to take it personally and will return to the stage to perform once again."
