Send us Fan Mail

What culture would enable women to learn and thrive with music technology? And how might this be fostered in music tech learning spaces? Inside this BONUS podcast episode Isobel shares the unique teaching approach she’s developed over the past five years, and why it's set over 400 women (and counting) up to win with music technology.

This practical discussion continues on from last week’s BONUS episode all about how music technology education has (so far) been failing women. But inside this episode, Isobel gives some progressive and helpful tips for cultivating a more gender inclusive culture where women truly thrive. Whether you’re a teacher, facilitator, studio owner or women wanting a better space to learn recording and production, this episode will help you find and create a music tech space that women love to be a part of.
