Ideal for universities, symposia, workshops, pay-to-sing programs, Young Artists' Programs, or private groups and institutes

The Business of Singing is a full customizable workshop designed by a working singer for everyone from high school or college-aged singers and emerging professionals, to teachers and second-career singers, to anyone who feels they would benefit from learning what they don't teach in school --- how to be the CEO of your own professional classical singer business.

You choose from a menu of lectures, master classes, recitals, and private consultations to create a customized program appropriate for your audience and time frame. Don't see a topic you're interested in? Cindy will create lectures just for you!

Topics include:

• How to create a professional, effective
  materials package including resume, bio,
  photo, review sheet, demo CD, and website
• How to write a cover letter
• Self-management and self-promotion
• What to do when you're not getting hired
• Taxes, health insurance, and unemployment
• How to find a good school and a good teacher
• The top ten things you should learn
  before you graduate
• Life after grad school
• The realities of a singing career
• Getting an agent

... and much more!

I sat in on Cindy's sessions myself to see what she had to offer the singers. Her insight on the business, how to prepare and be prepared for every situation is amazing. Cindy has thought of virtually everything. I found myself, after having a successful singing career, wishing I had been forearmed with this knowledge. It was absolutely perfect.
