Dr. Amy Dunker, a former professor, mentor and friend that gave me the honor of being the first person to share a little about her work and advices to young artists. If you are thinking about a career in music, listen to what Amy has to say, quite inspiring. For more information, check her webpage:
MEET THE ARTISTS:
Guitarists, composers, wind players, photographers, graphic designers, etc. People that work in creating something unique every day for a living and professionals that I know on a personal level. In addition, I started the process of interviewing these people because I believe that what they have to say can be useful to others. Networking is a way to maintain the art business alive and running. Who knows, maybe you may need a composer to write the music for a play or a photographer to take photos of a recital. Perhaps you need a professional to design the cover for an album.
