Episode 30: Coaching Session with David Michael Hyde

The Pivoting Musician | Episode 30: Coaching Session with David Michael Hyde

This webinar turned into an impromptu power hour with David Michael Hyde. 

David took The Pivoting Musician’s class in February of 2022 and showed up to support Sarah, Garrett, and Heidi through the TPM webinar on 8.4.2022. Little did we know that he would be the only live attendee from the registered list, so we decided to pivot into using that time to serve David. 

We were able to explore how his new entrepreneurial journey has been since the February class. So listen to him talk about his initial TPM experience, what he’s learned, and what he is currently working on as a musicpreneur! 

To receive your 10% discount off of September’s tuition, schedule your August 11th, 18th, or 25th call before Monday, August 8, 2022! Talk to you soon!

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!
