Dave Melgaard leads a team of testing experts at Idea Science to find optimum solutions for clients and strengthen testing capabilities. Before that, he studied Trumpet at the VCA, Melbourne University and the Royal College of Music in London. He held the position of Trumpet Master with the Slovenian National Opera and Ballet Orchestra before returning to Australia to build a new career in business.QUOTES“So many of the skills you learn in music are so useful in business.” “In sales, you can sell a big job or something important and this feeds 4 or 5 or 30 people for the next year. I find meaning in that. It’s not just about me playing the trumpet.”“Now I work in IT and fundamentally, running a band isn’t that dissimilar from running an IT shop.”“As much as you love Puccini, once you’ve played it 400 times it becomes a bit tedious.”LINKSFind Dave on LinkedINIdea Science“A software testing symphony” articlePODCAST TEAMProduction Penny ManwaringAudio Engineering from Frazer RuddickTheme Music Composed by Danna YunTheme Music Composed by Natasha PearsonTheme Music Performed by Alison McIntosh-Deszcz (soprano), Natasha Lin (piano), and Susan Eldridge (horn). Theme Music Recorded Lady Marigold Southey Performance Studio, 3MBS Fine Music in Melbourne in October 2016.
