What if "doing the music thing" didn't conjure subsisting on ramen and scrounging together rent money from a few random gigs and students, but finding a "path to remarkable success," positioning yourself in unique spaces and with interesting pursuits, making a healthy income while staying inspired and having a deep impact?
If you've wondered if you could avoid the rat-race, create demand for your services, and love what you're doing each day, if you're a teacher or parent wondering how to best help your students realize their musical dreams, or even if you're not a musician, but want to live a rich, creative life, this episode is for you! We're speaking with the wonderful David Cutler, and his new book, "The Savvy Musician 2.0," presents a comprehensive manual that will fill you with passion for how to approach all elements of the music business, from positioning yourself in the marketplace and creating relevance, to promoting your shows and services, time management, and leaving a legacy.
