Music Career Coaching
Tell your truth,
onstage and off
Book more of the work you love while growing into the artist you came here to be.
Most musicians aren’t lacking in talent or drive. They’re lacking clarity about what matters most. And the self-belief to really go for it.
That’s why I’m dedicated to helping musicians like you take charge of your career and your mindset.
So you can take consistent action and book more of the work that feeds your soul.
With decades of experience running career and entrepreneurship centers at Manhattan School of Music, Indiana University, and New England Conservatory . . .
I love helping musicians get more of their best work out into the world so they can fully grow into their artistry.

“Working with Angela is the best decision I’ve made for my career. With her guidance, I tackled imposter syndrome, improved my promo materials and grant writing, and learned how to deal with my Resistance. As a result, I was hired for a college teaching job, won a grant, and launched a major solo project.”
“I came to Angela frustrated that I was always ‘busy’ but rarely felt engaged in work that was fulfilling. Angela gave me the tools to change my professional outlook and habits. As a result, I’ve overhauled my pitches, boosted my performance bookings, and successfully completed a crowdfunding project.”
“I was feeling burdened with too many responsibilities that were not fueling growth or new opportunities. Angela helped me envision new options which helped to spur a new season of professional growth. I found that having her informed perspective offered the right amount of empathy and challenge to make small changes that are still paying dividends.”
Right now, you are standing in the perfect spot to take charge of your career from the inside out.
Most people start with the outer layer: their promo materials.
That’s a fine place to begin.
My clients come for help with their websites, bio, CVs, email pitches.
But they stay for something they didn’t quite expect: getting out of their own way and into sustained forward motion.
Because you can pay someone to give you the fanciest sounding bio on earth, but if it’s not telling your truth, imposter syndrome will choke you every time.
The solution isn’t simply a better bio. It’s healing the relationship you have with yourself as an artist.
That’s the work we do together.
“Angela helped me organize my projects to get more done with less stress. The Tools she taught and the shadow work have been incredibly helpful. I now have a new Bio that reflects my strengths, a negotiated sabbatical from my teaching job, plus having booked 10 concerts with better fees than ever.”
“We wanted more polished press materials, new concert proposal ideas and to move beyond cookie cutter bios. Angela helped us choose photos and words that allowed audiences to get to know us. She gave us new ideas on presenting concerts and directions on best pitch and negotiation practices. Now we have new concerts and press materials that really reflect who we are as artists and human beings.”
“Coaching with Angela is one of the top three most valuable investments I’ve made. I learned how to speak and write about my projects with confidence. Shortly after finishing the program, I helped my ensemble win a major grant for a passion project. My only regret is not starting sooner.”
Most of us spend our creative lives trying to curate what we show of ourselves to the world. And bury the rest.
The emotions we’ve been told are “too much.” The quirks. The wild flights of imagination we learned to keep to ourselves.
That buried “shadow” material is the key to everything.
Together we’ll bring it into the light and discover how to partner with it instead of refusing to claim it as our own.
Because when you do this work and fully accept yourselves, shadows and all, you’ll walk onstage whole, without apologizing or hiding anything.
And guess how easy it is to update your bio and make an effective website from there?
