Today & Tomorrow:
Laying the Groundwork for a Successful Entrepreneurial Career in Music
“Andrea is an engaging speaker and so willing to provide guidance!”
– Ruby Chou, MTNA Collegiate Chapters Piano Pedagogy Symposium
Andrea gave a clear and concise talk that was well-received by our members. I would recommend her to any group!
– Kathy Jentz, Meetup Organizer
Want a different kind of speaker for your next music teacher event?
I don’t talk about pedagogy or repertoire or student behavior issues. I talk about entrepreneurship and what it means to be a self-employed musician. The “business side” of teaching.
Whether it’s a stand-alone presentation, a break-out session as part of a larger conference, or a full-day workshop, we can create something amazing. Here are just a few topics I get excited about:
- Can I Afford to Do This? Personal + Business Finance for Musicians
- From Self-Employed to Business Owner: Growing a Studio Beyond Yourself
- Music Studio Makeover: Personal Branding for Musicians
Drop me a line and we can talk about what would work best for your group!
