This session, co-taught by Cadence Okuwobi and saxophonist Angie Coyle, is one of the most hands-on of the series, with students focusing on building self-promotion materials like websites, resumes, social media accounts, and business cards! The session will start with an overview of career paths musicians can take, from pit orchestras to private studios. The session will then transition to finances, giving students sample contracts and tips for navigating taxes, insurance, and retirement as musicians (which runs on a different system for gig workers). Students will spend the rest of the session working on their promotion materials with step-by-step instructions and help from the co-presenters. We ask that all students bring a computer to this session and be ready to use platforms like Canva!
