691: Hugh Sung on online teaching

When I saw a couple recent projects that Hugh Sung had been working on since the pandemic hit,  I knew that I had to have him back on the podcast and talk through what he was doing.

Hugh Sung is one of the most creative people I know when it comes to harnessing the power of technology to enhance our music teaching.  As co-founder of the excellent AirTurn foot pedal, Hugh has inspired me for years.

We dig into a number of topics, including Hugh’s Online Virtual Chorus and Orchestra Project, the collaborative sheet music reading app Newzik, cool ways to get a more immersive lesson experience in Zoom, and much more.

Enjoy, and be sure to follow along with Hugh on YouTube, Instagram, and his immensely useful blog.

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!
