I'm happy to announce that on February 13, from 7-9pm, I will be giving my first Music Wellness workshop, under the auspices of the International Women in Jazz, at St. Peter's Church, 619 Lexington Avenue at 54th St. in New York City.
The class is designed to teach professional jazz musicians how to book themselves into healthcare and senior facilities, and to design successful entertainment programs that will allow them to take advantage of the opportunities that exist in the new and growing field of music wellness.
Having negotiated the business for ten years and established a healthy clientele, I've made mistakes and learned lessons that I now want to share with my colleagues.
This valuable information can make it possible for many musicians like myself, who for decades could not earn a living performing jazz, to finally use their years of training and enjoy an active performance schedule, earn a nice paycheck, and at the same time know that they are making a big difference in people's lives.
Please pass this information along to any professional musicians you know who might be interested, or any other schools or organizations that might want to sponsor additional workshops.
I would like to extend my warmest thanks to the folks at the IWJ who work so hard to make so many wonderful things possible.
