All musicians, whether they have management or not, depend on their network of personal relationships to obtain the concert bookings and teaching offers that shape careers.
Like the technical facility we develop on our instruments, effective communication skills need to be learned—and then practiced on a regular basis.
This is an experiential workshop where you will:
- visualize your desired professional life
- practice how to better engage in conversation
- learn strategies on how to build the relationships you need to get there
- immediately use your new and improved skills to meet potential colleagues and employers in the room Read more about this workshop...
