August 01, 2021Rock School - 09/12/21 (Poorly Attended Concerts)"All too often, when a concert is poorly attended, it is made fun of. However, used correctly, it can be a learning experience to work on your performance. To connect better with the audience and to ponder why the show was not well attended.
