This episode is all about encouraging you to embrace the adventure of live performance, using simple music and play along items to transform your practice into engaging performances. Use these simple performances to break down barriers, connect with your audiences, and make events into special, unforgettable experiences. Jeff encourages musicians to step out of their practice rooms and start performing in public, emphasizing the importance of live performance for personal and professional growth. He shares his experiences and practical tips on how to begin performing outside, whether it’s for friends and family, or as a street musician (busker).

The great thing about all of this is that you can practice your performance practice, showmanship, story telling, and audience engagement in the "wild" with real people!

Welcome to Intentional Musicianship!

The "Intentional Musicianship" podcast, hosted by Jeff Price, is designed for musicians who aim to elevate their performance on multiple levels. This isn't your average "how to play better" show. We go beyond technique to focus on improving your stage presence, musical storytelling, audience communication, and breaking genre norms to form a deeper connection with your audience. Whether you're an amateur, a seasoned professional, or a music educator, our goal is to help you achieve a greater return on your performance investment. This could range from building a more committed fanbase to increasing merchandise sales. We utilize an adult learning model, so we assume you already have a foundation in performance and aim to refine and innovate on your existing skills. The ultimate goal? To create unforgettable experiences that not only entertain but engage your audience on a deeper level. The call to action is to foster community, encourage engagement, and provide actionable insights, all of which can be further explored at intentionalmusicianship.com.
