Welcome to "Intentional Musicianship" hosted by Jeff Price. Hi, I'm Jeff Price, and I've spent over 37 years on stages worldwide and even longer as an audience member. The "Intentional Musicianship" podcast 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. What You'll Hear: How to break the fourth wall and interact with your listeners authentically. Strategies for crafting compelling narratives within your music. Tips for overcoming performance anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt. Genre-specific advice tailored to various musical styles and venues. Ways to maximize your return on investment as a musician and build a loyal fan base. We're here to help you break through performance barriers, think out of the box, and, most importantly, forge genuine connections with your audience.
