249: Hugh Sung on Musical Entrepreneurship

Hugh Sung

Hugh Sung is the ultimate musical entrepreneur.

After years spent teaching at the Curtis Institute of Music, Hugh co-founded AirTurn, a company that produces pedals designed to turn pages on a tablet device.

Hugh is also an author.  In fact, he wrote From Paper to Pixels as a result of using tablet devices for reading music.

Now Hugh has moved into the world of podcasting with his show A Musical Life, getting a quarter of a million downloads in only a few months.

In addition, he recently launched A Musical Life Mastermind, a membership site devoted to helping musicians explore opportunities to grown their career.

Learn how he does all of this and much more in this interview!
