In today’s episode, Katherine and Heidi talk about music business.

Katherine holds a wealth of knowledge being a musicpreneur and she shares it with you, today! Don’t miss out on this valuable episode that will help move the needle forward for you and your business! Enjoy!

Katherine Emeneth is the founder of KE Creative; a digital media education company that provides resources for classical musicians who want to stay in the craft on their own terms. She has her own private studio, The Georgia Flute Academy, is a guest speaker at colleges and universities, and enjoys performing with ensembles when she can. She lives in Sugar Hill, Georgia, with her husband, Mathias (the German engineer), dog, Barney (the goofy but loving flute dog), and niece, Katelyn (the cool, bone collecting, high school senior).

Flute 360 | Episode 178: “Boost Your Musical Voice Through Podcasting!” Pt. 2 (26:59)

In today’s episode, Heidi unlocks one way in which you can start diminishing your performance anxiety and owning your authentic, creative voice on and off the stage. Too many times, we as artists, shutter at the thought of sharing our music on the stage with others.

It’s time to stand up and own your unique artistic voice. If other methods and techniques in the past have not helped your performance anxiety, then listen to today’s episode for a unique solution.
