Time is running, but there’s still enough of it for you to join Time For My Music!
Time For My Music is my online programme that supports emerging female musicians to set foot in the music industry. By joining, you’ll get access to tons of resources covering all the topics you need to be familiar with in order to thrive as a professional musician.

Last month, I had the great opportunity to do a workshop with The Notebenders big band. For two and a half hours, we went over the complementary topics of stage performance and improvisation. At the end of the session, they went through a song that they’d play the next day at a gig for me to give some feedback, too.
Today, I want to share the words that Patricia had to say about her experience in Time For My Music. She’s a quiet person, rather on the shy side, but the deep rich tones on her tenor sax speak volumes. It’s always a delight to watch her play!
