Learning from Failure as a Musician

from Musicianship Mastery with David Lane · host David Lane

About 5 years ago, I was fired from a music gig.  It's the only time in nearly 30 years of being a professional musician, and I think about it a lot.  There are definitely things I could have and should have done to reduce the chances of that happening, and there are lessons that I could have learned sooner after it happened to move on in a healthier way.  This episode is my reflection on what happened in 2021, and what I've learned since then. Book a free trial lesson with me online for piano, music composition, or music theory.
