The Next Step Workshop

Saturday August 20 9-5pm EST

Saturdays 1-2:30pm EST: September 24, October 29, December 3

All sessions on Zoom!

Calling all recent and soon-to-be music school graduates!

Are you a recent music school graduate, graduate student, or other student transitioning into professional life? Feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed about designing your career after the pandemic? Do you have decision fatigue about taking the perfect next step after graduation? Afraid of making a "mistake"?

You are not alone! Graduating from music school (or getting ready to graduate) feels like being thrown out to sea. Maybe this is the first time without regular lessons, a musical community, or prescribed musical goals. Perhaps you are entering into a graduate program and are feeling lost without the direction of undergrad. Or maybe you've just started a full-time job - and nobody is patting you on the back and handing you an "A" just for practicing.

It's a tough transition - I've totally been there.

At The Next Step Workshop you will:

-find what lights you up and motivates you

- create a realistic strategy to achieve it

-define what "success" actually means for YOU in this moment (not what you "should" do)

-create clear goals and an action plan in four key areas (artistic/musical, health and wellness, financial, and social) for your new self with accountability check-ins once a month

-find a community of like minded musicians in the same situation

-combat burnout with proven wellness and time management tools

-get better results in your playing, health, and professionalism - with WAY less stress

-gain the confidence you need to go out and create your life!

Participants will also have access to:

-an accountability group on WhatsApp

-3 additional group meetings on Zoom (1-2:30pm on Saturdays: September 24, October 29, and December 3)

-practice journal with journaling prompts and resource list

-health and wellness checklist

Workshop is open to all instruments and will take place over Zoom from 9-5pm on Saturday, August 20. The morning session will be with the group; following a lunch break, short, individual sessions will occur in the afternoon.
