Description:
As a musician in today’s world, you need to be able to do more than just play. Sometimes you need to stand up for your ideas and communicate as powerfully without your instrument as you do with it. How does one learn to do this? The process is remarkably similar to learning how to play. Steve and Mike will talk through specific steps you can take to become a more comfortable, effective public speaker.
