    Snapshot 028 - Shannon Saravia

    Welcome back! We’re doing a special series on the podcast this summer called Studio Snapshots. Rather than the in-depth, process-oriented interviews you’re used to hearing, these rapid-fire interviews give us a glimpse in a guest’s studio at a moment in time. 
    They’re part reflection, part anticipation of the future, and fully a celebration of where these teachers are today.
    Today I’m talking to Shannon Saravia.

A must for entrepreneurs

Andrea’s podcast has been a great tool to learn how to run my business more efficiently. Thank you!

Just what I needed!

I am loving learning to be more business-minded in my studio. For a while I passed this podcast by because I thought it was only for multi-teacher studios but I was completely wrong. It’s fantastic for anyone who runs a business teaching music for a living.

Too notch

Andrea is the real deal. Informative, helpful and a class act. So grateful to her for creating a space where musical entrepreneurs can learn from each other!
