Just a few hours left before Time For My Music, the online community group I created to help and guide emerging female musicians in their path to achieve their music dreams, closes enrollment. This means that you still have time!
Episodes 2 and 3 of the third season of my podcast Success Beyond The Score address two matters that, although very different from each other, are equally critical for the gigging musician: the fanbase (which mean all of you, thanks a lot for your support!) and the quality of the sound.
Patricia has been an active member of Time For My Music, my online community that helps emerging female musicians achieve their music dreams, since the beginning. Through the years, I have seen her grow, challenge herself and achieve wonderful things. I could speak about her and her relation to the group all day. However, I think it’s better that you hear it all from her.
Time For My Music is my online, private community group dedicated to support and guide female musicians in their music journey. It is open to new members from now until 9 October.
When Andrea Gill, who had worked as a DJ in the 80s and 90s, returned to music after a long break, she found software to be stiff and frustrating. Turning to modular synthesizers, she broke conventions and became The Tunegirl.
Four phenomenal women, one song: the title of what these four have in common is ‘I Will Always Love You.’
To improve my songwriting skills, I enrolled in a course led by Keppie Coutts and Benny Romalis. They are fantastic teachers! We went beyond the basics of how to write lyrics and delved into how to make them memorable and impactful. The course allowed me to bring out a lot of ideas that were spinning in my mind for a while. I hope I can share some of the results with you soon.
Here is the last clip I am going to share from the 2024 Caribbean Takeover files I found while browsing my folders the other day. In this one, I get off the stage to share the 70’s disco hit ‘Dancing Queen’ by ABBA with the audience.
After more than 300 years of colonial rule, Jamaica gained its independence on 6 August 1962. To commemorate this important date, tomorrow, Sunday 9 August, the Association of Jamaican Nationals of Birmingham UK will offer a service of praise and thanksgiving at the New Testament Church of God Handsworth. I will have the honour of providing the music for the occasion, and I would love it if many of you could attend.
