Today we released part one of our interview with Michael Sachs. He has a portfolio career at the highest levels of classical music: he’s in his 37th year as the principal trumpet of The Cleveland Orchestra, he's the Music Director of the Strings Music Festival, an active soloist, author, instrument designer, and he's on the faculty at the Curtis Institute of Music.
​
Though our interview mainly focuses on his entrepreneurial activities as a music director and musician outside of The Cleveland Orchestra, Michael offers a wealth of information to anyone aspiring to become a professional musician!

Today we released part one of our interview with Vera Holczer-Waroquet. She’s a Hungarian pianist who came to the US after finishing her degree at Budapest’s Bartok High School Conservatory.  She studied music at UCLA and went to graduate school at the Cleveland Institute of Music. Upon graduation, she started a small teaching studio that quickly grew into the Aurora School of Music that trains over 1,000 students per week and hosts numerous events she hosts each year.  

​Anyone interested in launching any type of arts teaching studio, or needing inspiration on how to grow a teaching studio, should tune in to hear what Vera has to say!
