Here is the first episode of the third season of the podcast Success Beyond The Score, in which I outlined the structure of the whole season, and talked about the seven stages every gigging musician goes through during their career.
This year at Time For My Music, my community group for emerging female musicians, I have taught series of workshops about amplifying devices, what they do, and how to use them.

So much, that I decided to make the information available for everybody.
‘You’re Still The One’ is arguably one of the best known songs of Shania Twain, which is a lot to say, given her extraordinary career as the best-selling female artist in country music history. Here is a sax version by The Millicent Stephenson Trio.
It’s Easter Sunday, it’s April, and spring is here to stay. Regardless of whether you observe Easter as part of your religion, I wish you a peaceful day and I invite you to reflect on the good things that still shine in your life, despite our turbulent times.

As I’ve mentioned many times, I believe every musician should be paid their worth. This doesn’t only mean that we must get paid a sum of money that corresponds to our time and talent: said amount must also reach us in a timely manner and with no incident.
Check what someone who booked me a few weeks ago had to say about my performance during their event. I’m always happy to receive feedback like this!
