Good Enough: How Embracing Your Strengths Creates Lasting Impact

Intentional Musicianship

What does it mean to be “good enough”? It’s not about perfection—it’s about connection. Every performer, no matter their level, has something unique to offer. By embracing your strengths, preparing with intention, and leaning into what makes you special, you can create moments that resonate with your audience long after the performance ends.

In this episode of Intentional Musicianship, Jeff Price explores the universal idea of “good enough” and how it applies across all levels of performance—from community ensembles to professional orchestras. He shares stories from recent performances, practical strategies for creating emotional connections, and why leaning on your strengths is the key to success.

Welcome to Intentional Musicianship!

The Intentional Musicianship podcast, hosted by Jeff Price, is designed for musicians who aim to elevate their performance on multiple levels. This isn't your average "how to play better" show. We go beyond technique to focus on improving your stage presence, musical storytelling, audience communication, and breaking genre norms to form a deeper connection with your audience. Whether you're an amateur, a seasoned professional, or a music educator, our goal is to help you achieve a greater return on your performance investment. This could range from building a more committed fanbase to increasing merchandise sales. We utilize an adult learning model, so we assume you already have a foundation in performance and aim to refine and innovate on your existing skills. The ultimate goal? To create unforgettable experiences that not only entertain but engage your audience on a deeper level. The call to action is to foster community, encourage engagement, and provide actionable insights, all of which can be further explored at intentionalmusicianship.com.
