37. Musicnotes “Behind the Notes” Podcast: Lucas Koehler and Jillian Shively
This week I am *on location* in the Nashville office of Musicnotes.com to talk with the hosts of their brand new podcast "Behind the Notes," Lucas Koehler and Jillian Shively!
In addition to their podcasting duties, Lucas works for Musicnotes as a Product Management Specialist and Jillian as a Content & Production Assistant. They had a lot of great insights to share from their years of helping composers (like myself) publish their music.
Composers, Arrangers, and Songwriters can visit the Musicnotes Marketplace to sell their scores on the Musicnotes website, and artists on YouTube can also look in to becoming a Musicnotes Signature Artist.
