Episode 28: You’re Invited!

The Pivoting Musician | Episode 28: You’re Invited!

Do you feel absolutely lost in your music career and don’t know the direction to take it? Do you want to leave your academic music job because you’re tired of the low pay and countless hours required? Or perhaps you’re fed up with knocking on the gatekeeper’s door and not hearing a response from the search committee on whether or not you received the academic or orchestral position?

If you said “yes” to any of these scenarios, we encourage you to be the CEO of your own music job. Stop knocking on the search committee’s door, and start building your door. There is no reason why you cannot begin teaching, coaching, and playing with the people who inspire and motivate you while having a financially fulfilling career.

Join us at the next TPM webinar, which is scheduled for Thursday, July 28, 2022, at 4:30 P.M./CDT. Click the link below to register for this one-time event with Garrett and Heidi.

Learn about TPM’s five pillars and how it can start guiding you to your successful pivot today! We are cheering you on!

Episode 26: Market

The Pivoting Musician | Episode 26: Market

If you are like most musicians who obtained a traditional music degree, chances are you were not taught about marketing. So why would the music school teach you such a topic if you focused on obtaining a traditional music job, such as an orchestral or academic position? What happens, though, when you aren’t on the traditional path, and you are your own music boss?! If this is you, then you need to know how to market!

It’s one thing to create your product or service, but if nobody knows about your offering, how will they enroll and become a diehard client? You, the business owner, need to let your tribe know about your offerings through marketing. When marketing is done well, your people will flock to you and your business. They will want to engage with your posts and start building meaningful relationships with you. Learn how to start marketing for your music business today! 

If you want to obtain all of the information from this January 2022 webinar, you need to subscribe to the Pivoting Post. Here, a YouTube link will be sent to you for the entire webinar, plus a live Q&A at the end! The Q&A is just as valuable as the webinar because musicians (just like yourself!) are asking outstanding questions! 

Enroll in the Pivoting Post today! Thanks!

Episode 18: Supermodel Standards?!

Are you tired of the expectations that the music industry has put on you?

When you look at the job postings for an academic job, it almost seems like they are looking for a unicorn that has all the bells and whistles. They want you to be an expert, not only in your main niche, but to teach practically anything under the sun, while leaving time for research, recruitment, and more. And the best part is (insert sarcasm here…), the institution will pay you an unfitting wage and rarely offer you zero health benefits.

This standard is the same that the fashion and beauty industry has on its consumers. Women often feel an immense pressure to look like the supermodels who are the mystical unicorns within the industry. This is unrealistic and we are encouraging you to celebrate what makes YOU unique. Listen to today’s episode to hear more!

We are rooting for you!

Episode 13: Skipping the Line

It’s okay…you can skip the line! For the musician, the traditional way was to go to school, obtain a degree, then apply to a zillion applications to maybe (just maybe) get a “yes” from the music panel. Guess what?! Times are changing and the music industry is changing, too! You can skip the line and be your own boss. Sit in the driver’s seat and say “yes” to yourself and to your career. Work with the people who motivate and inspire you, while making a living!
