A Step-by-step Guide to Meaningful Work for Singers

Part I:  First Impressions

What is your signature piece?  What do you do better than anyone else?  This section will hep you figure it out.  Self-definition as an artist is key to being successful.

Part II:  Inner Compass

Did you know that 37% of all musical productions occur within the walls of a college or university?  Do you know how many colleges and universities there are?  How about opera companies?  How many singers are on the market at one time?  What is the average pay for a full-time opera singer?  This section will give you the answers you need to make informed decisions about your career.

Part III:  Innovative Stages

Before you make a plan you’ll need to explore all your options.  There are lots and lots of ways to make money as a singer.  It’s not just all about opera.  It is possible to stay in one town and have a family and still sing.  Before making any decisions it is best to consider all your options.  This section will help you consider the entire picture of your life and prepare you for the fourth and final section.

Part IV:  What Can I Do by Tuesday?

Most singers don’t have a plan for next week much less next year.  I’ll guarantee you that all business people have five-year plans.  Singers are in the singing business.  This section will help you make a five-year plan that will help you get started in a good direction.

This E-book will be out this summer.  Keep in touch for announcements.  The workshop in the same four sections will be offered August 1-12.  Please leave a comment here if you want more information.  I’ll look forward to seeing you there.

All best, Susan
