Podcast Overview

Welcome to Intentional Musicianship, hosted by Jeff Price. Jeff is a lifelong performer and listener who believes great performances are built with intention. Intentional Musicianship is a podcast for musicians who want more from their time on stage and more connection with the people listening. This is not a typical "play better" show. We move beyond technique to explore stage presence, musical storytelling, audience communication, and the often unspoken norms that shape live performance. Each episode is designed to help you think differently about what happens at center stage and how your preparation behind the scenes impacts the experience you create. Whether you are an amateur, a seasoned professional, or a music educator, the goal is simple: to help you create performances that resonate. That might mean deeper audience engagement, stronger community support, or a more sustainable return on your performance efforts through loyalty, attendance, or merchandise sales. The show uses an adult learning model. We assume you already have performance experience. Instead of starting from scratch, we focus on refining, rethinking, and expanding what you already do well. There are no rigid rules here, only new possibilities. At its core, Intentional Musicianship is about creating unforgettable musical experiences that go beyond notes and technique and invite the audience into something meaningful. What you'll hear: - How to break the fourth wall and engage audiences authentically - Strategies for shaping musical narratives and programming with purpose - Tools for managing performance anxiety, perfectionism, and self doubt - Genre aware insights for different ensembles, venues, and settings - Ways to increase the return on your performance investment and build loyal supporters We are here to help you remove barriers, think creatively, and strengthen the connection between performer and audience.

Your experiences matter, and we look forward to connecting with you on the next episode of Intentional Musicianship.

Why Live Performances Can Feel Flat and How to Fix It

<p class="MsoNormal">In this episode of <a href= "https://www.intentionalmusicianship.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Intentional Musicianship</a>, Jeff Price explores why strong musicianship does not always translate into a compelling live performance.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Today's audiences are conditioned by film, television, and social media. Their attention is constantly guided through camera angles, movement, and intentional storytelling. When they attend a live performance, they bring those same expectations with them.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The challenge is that most musicians are trained to focus on accuracy and execution, but not on directing the audience's experience.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">This episode introduces a simple but powerful shift. If live performance does not have cameras, then the performer must become the camera.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Through a real world example of a live music video producer and a conversation with a developing band, we break down the gap between thinking about performance and actually rehearsing it.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">We also provide practical tools you can apply immediately:</p> <ul type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal">Describe your performance visually, not just musically</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Map your performance like a storyboard</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Use audience perspective through a simple "fishbowl" exercise</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Identify where attention should be directed at all times</li> </ul> <p class="MsoNormal">If the audience cannot see what matters, they will not fully experience what you are playing.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">This episode challenges you to move beyond playing correctly and begin shaping what the audience sees, feels, and remembers.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Here is the instagram video that inspired this episode:</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/p/CtmwC_1rc6Q/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">behindthebroadcast</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/hollzinhollywood?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hollzinhollywood </a></p> <p class="MsoNormal">#intentionalmusicianship #liveperformance #stagepresence #musicperformance #performingmusicians #musiceducation #audienceengagement #showmanship #performanceskills #musicianmindset #musicteaching #bandperformance #stageperformance #musicrehearsal #performancecoaching #visualperformance #storytellinginmusic #artistdevelopment #livemusictips #performancetraining</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Welcome to <a href= "https://intentionalmusicianship.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Intentional Musicianship</a>!</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The <a href= "https://intentionalmusicianship.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Intentional Musicianship</a> podcast, hosted by Jeff Price, is for musicians looking to elevate their performance beyond technique.

Why Good Musicians and Educators Protect Their Ears

<p>As musicians and educators, we spend our lives surrounded by sound, but we do not always stop to think about how that sound affects us over time. In this episode of <a href= "https://www.intentionalmusicianship.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Intentional Musicianship</a>, <strong> </strong>Jeff Price reflects on lessons learned from decades of performing and teaching, including his years with the United States Army, and how hearing health became part of professional responsibility.</p> <p>This conversation is not about fear. It is about being intentional so musicians can continue creating, teaching, and listening for a lifetime. Jeff shares practical strategies for hearing protection, leadership habits for educators, and why building a relationship with an audiologist is just as important as maintaining your instrument.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Mentioned in the podcast:</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://armyfieldband.com" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">US Army Field Band </a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.osha.gov/noise" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Occupational Safety and Health Administration - Occupational Noise Exposure </a></p> <p class="MsoNormal">#IntentionalMusicianship #MusicianHealth #HearingHealth #MusicEducation #BandDirectorLife #MusicTeacher #MusicianWellness #ProtectYourEars #LifelongMusician #MusicLeadership</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Welcome to <a href= "https://intentionalmusicianship.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Intentional Musicianship</a>!</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The <a href= "https://intentionalmusicianship.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Intentional Musicianship</a> podcast, hosted by Jeff Price, is for musicians looking to elevate their performance beyond technique.

Money, Fundraising, and Finishing the Experience

<p>Money is part of the musical ecosystem, whether we like it or not. But how and when musicians ask for support matters more than we often realize.</p> <p data-start="425" data-end="814">In this episode of <a href= "https://www.intentionalmusicianship.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Intentional Musicianship</a>, Jeff Price reflects on an online holiday concert that felt less like a performance and more like an unnamed telethon, and why that disconnect matters. From there, he explores how expectations shape trust, why audiences do not mind being asked when intent is clear, and how musicians can design endings that feel respectful instead of awkward.</p> <p>Using the familiar "exit through the gift shop" metaphor, this episode looks at how nonprofit ensembles, educational programs, and independent musicians can create space for audiences to linger, reflect, and choose how they want to engage. The focus is not on selling, but on finishing the experience well.</p> <p data-start="1124" data-end="1295">Topics include breach of expectation, clarity in nonprofit fundraising, environmental asks for working musicians, and why optional support works best when it feels earned.</p> <p data-start="1297" data-end="1472">This is not a how to fundraise episode. It is a conversation about alignment, honesty, and choosing approaches that fit who you are, your mission, and the community you serve.</p> <p>Recommended resource:<span class= "apple-converted-space"> </span><a href= "https://www.aubreybergauer.com/book" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><span class="whitespace-normal">Run It Like a Business</span><span class= "apple-converted-space"> by </span><span class= "whitespace-normal">Aubrey Bergauer</span></a>, which offers a comprehensive overview of fundraising and sustainability models for arts organizations, including subscriptions, donations, and long term planning.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">#IntentionalMusicianship #MusicEducation #ArtsFundraising #NonprofitArts #IndependentMusicians #WorkingMusicians #LiveMusic #AudienceExperience #MusicAndMoney #ArtsLeadership #MusicPerformance #ArtsAdvocacy #MusicianLife #CreativePractice #ArtistSustainability #CreativeLeadership #runitlikeabusiness #MusicCommunity</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Welcome to <a href= "https://intentionalmusicianship.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Intentional Musicianship</a>!</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The <a href= "https://intentionalmusicianship.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Intentional Musicianship</a> podcast, hosted by Jeff Price, is for musicians looking to elevate their performance beyond technique.
