You just need a consistent, varied income career.” Composer, educator, arts administrator, and newly found record producer Adam Schumaker goes into great detail about the career of the classical musician being a "slow burn" process. He also talks about the new album by Some Assembly Required, which his newfound record label is distributing, in episode 9 of the Making Noise Podcast.
