Good news... it's my birthday!!  Bad news... I literally NEVER work on my birthday… It's one of my rules... And as much as I love The Membership Guys podcast…  I can't break this rule.  So I'm taking the day off…. And that can mean only one thing...  CALLIE IS TAKING OVER! (And I get to eat cake) Join the other (some would say better) half of The Membership Guys for a very special episode, as Callie shares her top takeaways from season 4 of her podcast, Behind the Membership, and reveals the release date for season 5.   Listen to hear about:  The changes membership owners have made to better serve their audiences during the global pandemic. Caryn Liles explains how Covid 19 resulted in her transitioning her well established brick and mortar dog training business to an online membership model, which is now allowing her to provide more in-depth support than before. Katie Wardrobe talks about how she reduced the price of her membership and offered more free content to help teachers adapt to working online, which has increased the growth of her business.  How Carole Copeland Thomas's membership has become more important than ever due to the growing racial tensions across the U.S.  Why a one size fits all approach doesn't work when it comes to memberships. Pamela Mitchell explains how she created a model to suit her needs and Felicia Lo shares the benefits and challenges of running an online membership alongside a well established international yarn business. Steve Pavlina also talks about how he offers a high ticket annual membership that only launches for five days a year.  How season 4 reinforced the message that memberships give owners the freedom and flexibility to live life on their own terms. Whether it's accommodating health issues like in the case of Marisha Mets, building a location independent business enabling family travel like in the case of Trish Blackwell... Or using your membership to reach big goals and eventually give back to underprivileged communities like John Michaloudis.  How running memberships can lead to positive change. Warwick Brown explains how leaving his corporate role and launching his membership has led to a happier, more energized life and Warren Mcpherson shares how he reduced his income streams and took ownership of his time so he can spend more of it with his young family.     Links and Mentions:  https://www.themembershipguys.com/behind-the-membership/ (Behind The Membership podcast ) https://www.themembershipguys.com/caryn-liles/ (Launching Quickly in a Global Crisis with Caryn Liles) https://www.themembershipguys.com/katie-wardrobe/ (Double your member base during a pandemic with Katie Wardrobe)  https://www.themembershipguys.com/carole-copeland-thomas/ (Facilitating Change Through Difficult Conversations with Carole Copeland Thomas) https://www.themembershipguys.com/pamela-mitchell/ (Creating a High Level Coaching Membership with Coach Pamela Mitchell) https://www.themembershipguys.com/felicia-lo/ (Adding a Membership to a Successful Manufacturing Business with Felicia Lo) https://www.themembershipguys.com/steve-pavlina/ (Aligning Your Members to Your Vision with Steve Pavlina) https://www.themembershipguys.com/marisha-mets/ (Creating a Custom Web App for Your Members with Marisha Mets) https://www.themembershipguys.com/trish-blackwell/ (Fighting Through a Crisis of Confidence with Trish Blackwell) https://www.themembershipguys.com/warwick-brown/ (Staying Consistent as a One-Man Band with Warwick Brown) https://www.themembershipguys.com/john-michaloudis/ (Setting Ambitious Goals for Your Membership with John Michaloudis) https://www.themembershipguys.com/warren-mcpherson/ (More Time, More Freedom, More Income with Warren Mcpherson) Key Quotes:  “Memberships are game changers at the best of times, but in 2020 they proved that even more.” “Everything is possible with a...

Katie Wardrobe from Midnight Music, a membership specialising in helping music teachers with technology, is the final guest for season four of Behind the Membership. Midnight Music has been running for 4 years now and while it has always been successful, Katie has actually managed to nearly double her member base during the current pandemic, even though she has actually been focused on providing more free content and resources for her audience during this time. In this episode we talk about how Katie has started providing her previous member only webinars for free each month, attracting thousands of attendees each time, her experiments with creating live courses, and why she reduced her price during the pandemic. We also talk about the increased challenges involved when schools are paying for a teacher's membership, how Katie engages her members by answering forum questions via video, hiring a content manager to keep her free content on track and much, much more!

Welcome back to this special pair of episodes celebrating hitting the 100 mark of the Musicality Podcast! If you haven't already heard Episode 100 then make sure you go back and listen to it too because both that one and this one are jam-packed with incredible insights from over two-dozen expert guests, answering the question: “What’s one thing you’ve learned that could help musicians to tap into their inner musicality?” In the last episode we heard from 11 experts whose answers to this question were varied and fascinating. There were some common themes, some of which you'll hear coming up again in this episode, but each guest also brought their own unique perspective and insight to the question. We’ll talk a little more at the end of this episode about those recurring themes and how we can learn more from them. We said last time that we’d tried to group the experts to make for two great episodes to listen to, but apart from that there's no meaning to the order - so the line-up for this episode is just as impressive as the first one. In this episode you'll be hearing: • Bill Hilton, author of "How to Really Play the Piano" talking about the level of instrument technique required to sound truly musical. • Book author, podcaster, song-writer and musician David Andrew Wiebe of MusicEntrepreneurHQ.com revealing three things that can help you sound more like a pro. • Innovator in school music education Casey von Neumann of Eclectic Music and CaseyMcCann.com sharing the tip that let her sound just as musical as her incredibly accomplished teacher. • Leading teacher-of-teachers Sara Campbell of SarasMusicStudio, and our Resident Pro for piano here at Musical U, explaining why young children are often more in touch with their inner musicality and what we can learn from that. • Practice expert Chris Owenby from PracticeHabits.co talking about what it takes to become an accomplished musician like the greats we admire. • Rising star singer-songwriter Kendra McKinley pointing out the thing you're probably forgetting to listen to which could make you sound more musical. • Actress, singer, writer and cabaret expert Fiona-Jane Weston discussing the relationship between technique and artistry, and how to unlock the potential in a piece of music. • Composer and guitar educator David Wallimann on escaping the constraints your instrument might be placing on you. • Author of the must-have handbook for aspiring musicians, "The Musician's Way", Gerald Klickstein, on one activity that will transform your musicality and why it's more vital for music than other artforms. • Music technology expert Katie Wardrobe on one non-tech thing she does to develop her musical understanding. • World-leading vocal expert and sight-reading pro Jeremy Fisher on how to overcome tricky spots and learn music faster. • Creative music teaching expert Leila Viss on the mindset shift required to uncover your own creative voice. • Music theory innovator Scott Sharp on the special way of thinking about keys and chords that can let you understand what's going on in the music you hear and play. • And Vincent James, the man behind some of the most inspiring events and books in the world of music tops off our episode with some counter-intuitive advice for connecting musically with your audience. Are you excited? We’ve already heard all these and we’re excited all over again just talking through them! Before we dive in, if you're somebody who relishes this kind of musicality insight and knowledge then you are not going to want to miss the special edition we've put together to celebrate this 100th episode. It's called the Musicality Podcast Power Pack, and we've taken the first 100 episodes of the podcast plus some clever extra resources to help you get maximum value from each and every episode, AND some super cool bonuses contributed by our expert guests.

Today we're talking with Katie Wardrobe, the founder of Midnight Music - a site we’ve followed for several years because it is the go-to place to learn about cool new music tools and websites and insights on how they can be used in music education. Katie runs hands-on workshops, presents regularly at conferences in Australia and overseas and she offers online training and support to music teachers all over the world through her music technology professional development online community - the Midnight Music Community. She is also the author of Studio Sessions, a keyboard and technology program for middle school students and the host of the weekly Music Tech Teacher podcast. One thing we’ve always admired is how Katie is always able to find interesting and creative ways to use new music websites and apps for real practical teaching purposes. We loved having the chance to pick Katie’s brains on how to best use music tech in education, as well as learning a bit more about her own background and what led to her having such a creativity-focused perspective on technology in music education.   In this conversation we talk about:   • How growing up as the daughter of two music teacher parents impacted her early music education, and whether she believes it was nature or nurture that led to her becoming a music teacher herself. • Her opinion on whether easy music-making technology reduces (or even removes) the need for spending time learning music in the traditional way. • Her top suggestions for free online tools you can use today to develop your musicality in fun and interesting ways.   This conversation is packed with useful ideas for self-taught musicians and music teachers alike, and you’re going to come away with at least one (but probably several) cool new ideas for using technology in your musicality training.   Subscribe For Future Episodes!

Need ideas on membership conversion & retention strategies for your online business? Listen in as we help today's guest strategize how to retain her current members and convert more members. Our guest is someone from our Flip Your Life international community, Music Technology Trainer and Consultant, Katie Wardrobe. Katie, a proud single mom of 2 boys, started out as a teacher running workshops locally and internationally. She has demonstrated her aptitude as an educator in multiple conferences and other music education events. She later worked for an international music software company, where she learned and understood technological aspects in a deeper sense. That was Katie's first real experience into using technology on a daily basis. After her employment with that company, she saw the growing demand for someone of her expertise online. In 2016, she decided to create a platform where she can share her valuable skill set to enable and educate teachers on how to incorporate software -- like Sibelius, GarageBand, Audacity and a whole lot more -- into their music curriculum. Midnight Music, gave her the flexibility to raise her family, as well as engage her strong, active membership community with over 300 members. Join us as we help Katie strategize how to retain her current members, convert more members as well as improving the systems in place to make her clients even happier.

We're also so thankful that we can now make appointments for things we need whenever we want.  When we used to work at school, we had to find a substitute for our class, we had to leave early.  Some days, we would just have to take a day off.  We live in a really small town, and there aren't really a lot of specialists near us. Now, we have just the more time to take care of our health and the ability to be there for our family when we are needed the most.

In fact, here's eactly what they asked: James Clements: I have a large stack of business cards of colleagues and associates from the last few years who fit into my target market for my new online business. I will be leaving my current employment in two weeks and was wanting to kick start my list by emailing them, telling them what I was up to, maybe surveying them to get my product right, but generally trying to build up my list. Is this spam, if not what's the etiquette around this?Paul Evans - Is attacking a competitor "head on" in public a good marketing strategy?Mark Hogan - What are the five easy steps to 'polish a turd'? Or are they in fact polishable?Robin Dickinson Art - What's the best way for a visual artist to generate demand?Neil Newcombe - How would you target market a business to move into a more upmarket field without upsetting current clients Katie Wardrobe - What are some innovative ways to capture leads when you are a trader or presenter at a conference? ie.
