Stay tuned for season 2, launching February 13, 2023!
Doublers is a resource for any musician looking into other careers or income streams outside the typical performing/teaching binary. -- It often feels like a music career has two paths: performance or teaching. Our sense of self gets wrapped up in identifying as a "musician", and there's a certain pressure to stay strictly within those two paths in order to maintain that identity. If you're making money in another industry, are you a musical failure? Long before the pandemic, many musicians relied on secondary skills to pay the bills: often in careers that have nothing to do with music, teaching, or the degree they earned. Listen to their stories here.

Eric Umble is a clarinetist, development administrator, DJ, and all around wonderful human. I'm delighted to have him as my first guest on the podcast!
Based in Brooklyn, Eric has an active career as a clarinetist in the new music scene in New York City. He's also the development & engagement manager for The Knights orchestra collective (if you aren't familiar with The Knights, check them out). As if that doesn't keep him busy enough, he also performs as a DJ in a variety of venues around the New York area.
In this episode, we discuss Eric's process of discovering new career pursuits, the identity crisis that can go along with that journey, and where he is now.
