Sign up for our upcoming webinar: How To Speak Up For Your Music with NEC alumna Jezra Kaye '80, Founder of Speak Up For Success

Monday, October 3rd | 11:00 AM ET

Many musicians struggle to talk about things like:

  • What makes your music unique?
  • Why should a musical director, club owner, or concert promoter hire you?
  • Where do you stand in your musical market? Are you "the best"? "Up and coming"? A "leader"? A "newcomer"?

If questions like this aren't easy to answer, this hour-long, interactive workshop is for you!

We'll explore how to talk about your music using the public speaking skills you've already learned at NEC! And yes, your musical skills transfer directly to public speaking.

Because it's hard to let your music speak it, you're not getting gigs. And it's hard to get hired if you don't speak up for your music.
