91. "Don't be shy, as a musician you've got to put yourself out there.." - Dr José Valentino

"As musicians we spend so long practicing and honing our instrumental skills that we neglect seeing ourselves as as a legitimate business!" In 'Talking Flute Extra' podcast this week, Jean-Paul talks with the brand new Grammy Award winning musician Dr José Valentino about his new position at the University of Florida.  We cover much in this podcast from the need to "..understand the web, as social media should be a reflection of yourself outside of the digital space..." through to "Multi-dimensional practice" and the "F and G words".  We end the podcast with a new single by José in advance of the festive season entitled "Chestnuts".  To learn more about the José and to download more of his music then www.josevalentino.com  'Talking Flutes' and 'Talking Flutes Extra' are podcast productions by the Trevor James Flute Company.  For more information www.trevorjamesflutes.com
