Hi!
My name is Rachel, and I’m currently running a music and business summer camp. The camp is geared toward teens who are aspiring musicians. I wanted to say a big thank you! My students discovered the Ultimate Radio Show page while working on our latest project. The information on the page led them to all kinds of great information! Hannah, one of the students in camp, is especially talented. Since she wishes to become a professional vocalist who successfully manages her own branding, she is really interested in deepening her overall music knowledge and is fascinated by the business side of the arts.
Hannah also suggested I pass along a comprehensive resource she found herself: “A Musician’s Guide to Advertising and Marketing.” I’ll link it below. I always encourage my students to conduct their own research and share the information they discover to reinforce their learning. Since Hannah loves exploring the business side of music, she was proud to share a fantastic music marketing resource with the rest of the students, and thought it might be a beneficial addition to your other materials here ( ultimateradioshow.com/digital-resources-for-music-appreciation/ ) The other students found it to be so helpful, and she hopes it will inspire others.
Hannah’s suggestion: https://www.qualtrics.com/blog/musicians-guide-to-marketing/
If you’re able to include it, would you mind letting me know? I know she would be thrilled to have made a positive contribution, 🙂
Kind regards, and thank you again! I look forward to hearing from you!
Rachel and Hannah
Thanks for the info. This episode has already aired so I can’t go back and include it, but it looks really helpful.
