Connect with Your Audience
Artists need to be dynamic and responsive communicators in order to establish and sustain careers in a dramatically changing landscape. My communications training and career coaching programs build in artists the abilities to foster authentic engagement with diverse audiences, while creating opportunities for music and art to thrive today and in the future.
Topics of Current Workshops Include:
- Mistakes to Avoid from a Concert Presenter Who’s Seen Them!
- Opening Doors: How to Know Your Audience and Connect Them to the Music
- Preparing for Interviews: Develop Authentic Answers With Thoughtful Questions
- All Public Speaking is NOT Created Equal: Learn to Do It EFFECTIVELY!

Build Your Career
Through my experience as a performer, educator, and concert presenter, I’ve gathered unique insights into the ways that successful artists build and engage their audience. Translating these insights into practical strategies, I support and coach performing artists to develop their individual communications skills and grow their careers.
I’ve created a curriculum that teaches early- and mid-career artists the often overlooked skills they need in order to communicate with purpose. Classes offer students creative lessons and useful materials to guide their practice and spark their imagination.
- Speak to audiences with ease
- Provide informative and engaging interviews to the press
- Establish a distinct voice across different media
