What a surreal few weeks it has been. I make my living performing and teaching in the greater New York area — something that is incredibly challenging during the global Coronavirus pandemic.

Patreon, Ko-fi, and SoundBetter are some of the newer platforms that allow creatives to market their services digitally. You can view the options below and see if any of them speak to you.

Thank you for any help you can give!
