Fabiana Claure is a concert pianist and educator who has created a business around her music and artistic sides. Teaching others how to do the same is her passion.
Fabiana resides in the U.S., but has also lived in Bolivia and Cuba. She says that living abroad has given her a helpful global perspective toward music, entrepreneurship and education. She founded The Musician’s Profit Umbrella® business mentorship program for musicians. Fabiana was also Founder and Director of the Music Business and Entrepreneurship program at the University of North Texas, which is not far from my hometown of Fort Worth.
She holds a Doctor of Musical Arts in Piano Performance degree with cognates in Music Business and Entertainment Industries from the University of Miami. She received a master’s a from Southern Methodist University and a bachelor’s from College of Charleston. Her credentials run deep in education, music performance and entrepreneurship. You can learn more about her street cred at fabianaclaure.com.
In this conversation Fabiana and I discuss living and growing up abroad, her adventures in education and as faculty at North Texas University, the concept of aligning artistic, personal, and professional strengths into a unified sense of identity, her Musician’s Profit Umbrella mentorship program, creating a business while staying true to one’s artistic side, and more.
Fabiana periodically runs an online master class, in which you can get an idea of what she and The Musician’s Profit Umbrella are all about. I encourage you to learn more about that at fabianaclaure.com.
