    Hunters and Farmers

    Hunters and Farmers is not a podcast on anthropology. Hunters and Farmers describe two different sales approaches. Most musicians try there best to be hunters and forget farming their existing contacts.

    On Practicing

    More often than not, we focus on our mistakes when practicing and rehearsing. But nobody is interested in us performing without mistakes! Everyone wants to be touched by our music. We, therefore, need to change the way we practice. Find more resources on the brand-new Revibrations App. You find the app on the Apple App and the Google Play stores.

    Forget Social Media!

    Social media is a waste of your time. It does not help you build meaningful connections unless you have over 10.000 followers. Focus on personal meetings, phone calls, well-researched and well-written e-mails instead.

    Apple Music Classical is the Wrong Move

    Apple just launched the long-awaited Apple Music Classical app. Since Apple acquired Primephonic in August 2021, we have waited for that. But is a new music app dedicated to classical music the right move? Bernhard Kerres argues that is the wrong move for many reasons - especially because it puts classical music once more in an elitist ivory tower. But there are some lessons to be learned for musicians and people working in classical music. What do you think? Join us on the Revibration App for a candid discussion! You find the Revibration App in the Apple App and Google Play stores.

  6. Music is Political.

    16/03/2022

    Music is Political.

    With the war in Ukraine, some musicians say they do not understand politics. They use that as an excuse for not standing up for their values. In many countries, music and the arts are protected in the constitution. Does that special protection not mean one should engage even more in the greater good of our communities? If you want to support #musicians4musicians, you can donate generously to: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/help-musicians-ukraine. If you can host musicians, please register at: https://byom.host. Let us contribute to peace, respect, care, and love in our world.
