  • Taking Responsibility for Your Own Choices - Musical and Self-Care with Kelly Wilson

    Many musicians are injured and many are playing in pain. In 2012, Dr. Bronwen Ackerman, Professor of Biomedical Science at the University of Sydney, surveyed members of the eight professional full time orchestras in Sydney. 84% of the musicians had experienced pain that had interfered either with playing their instrument or participating in orchestral rehearsals and performances. 50% had pain at time of the survey. Another study, done in 2008 by the American Association of Physician Assistants, found that there was a 50-76% of musicians reported musculoskeletal injuries. In comparison, a 2009 study found that the injury rate for Cirque du Soleil artists was 9.7% compared to a 15.2% injury rate for NCAA collegiate women’s gymnasts.

  • Toxic Teachers

    Have you ever had a lesson and thought about your teacher, “Wow, what is wrong with that person?” Or worse yet, thought “What is wrong with me?” only to realize in hindsight that you were not the one at fault?

     

    In this episode, Angela and Jen discuss the concept of Toxic Teachers: instructors at various levels within the music industry with horrible habits and/or approaches that leave long-lasting negative effects on their students. Join us as we unpack what these habits can look like, how they can be twisted to gaslight the student, and how to avoid the impact of these negative effects!

     

    As always, please share with a friend and if you enjoy our podcast, please leave us a good review so you can help us get in front of more musicians!

  • Breaking Tradition: A Hidden Music Industry

    Training for “the job.”

     

    The concept of “the job” is SO central to many young musicians’ lives – an idea that if you want to succeed, you go to music school for traditional training, and when you graduate you get a job in one of two areas: a professional orchestra or college teaching. But what happens when we step outside of this concept and explore our other passions?

     

    Join us as we discuss “Breaking Tradition” with Brian Corbin, owner of Corbin Clarinet Products, who found a way to pursue a NEW way to support his biggest passions: music, clarinet, and creating quality availability for band directors, students of all backgrounds, and professional performers alike!

  • Selling Lucrative Artistry with Dr. Brian Witkowski
    “I’m just a musician, no one is going to pay THAT much!!”
     
    We’ve talked about “lack mindset” before when it comes to music and business, and many professionals are now working to change music culture to eliminate it as a factor. But even so, it can be difficult for many of us to charge “living wage” rates as self-employed musicians! And it is scary when we find ourselves comparing our desired rates to things like colleagues’ rates, mentors’ rates, or worrying about losing current students or clients.
     
    How can you combat these fears and charge what you need to survive? Join us for our chat with “The Lucrative Artist,” Dr. Brian Witkowski, as he discusses how to combat these common issues and reach your full professional potential!
