Whether You Have…
No repair experience but a desire to learn
“As a professional clarinetist with a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Professional Studies Certificate in Orchestral Performance at the Manhattan School of Music, learning clarinet, flute and saxophone repair opened up more career opportunities for me.”
BRIAN GNOJEK
Professional Clarinetist | WMA Alumni
Some repair experience but no confidence
5 years ago I had my very first repair client. Today I completed my 1,000th repair. Thank you for helping me make this dream a reality.
BENNY ROMERO
Woodwind Repair Technician | WMA Alumni
A music education degree and desire to learn
“I took Level 1 and 2 flute so I could identify problems for students and their flutes so we could get them back working better. I can also do the repair but it has helped me find the underlying issues with instruments much faster for the benefit of my program.”
JONATHAN KNOPFEL
Band Director | WMA Alumni
A desire to invest in yourself & your community
“With a passion for flute, I found repair to help me grow, support my students in my studio, at the univerities I teach at and also for clients at a local music store.”
STEPHANIE HULSEY
Flute Teacher and Flute Repair | WMA Alumni
A teaching studio
“Being able to help my students learn to play the clarinet, as well as fix their instrument, has been a game changer for the growth of my studio.”
AMANDA CHOWNING
Private Lesson Instructor | WMA Alumni
A regular 9-5 job
“I had a full time job as a band director and decided to take early retirement and learn repair as a next step. It’s grown into a thriving business and a second career for me.”
DON NATHAN
Retired Band Director | WMA Alumni
A passion project you dream of making your legacy
“After building my own business and selling it, I decided to take my love of saxophones and learn how to repair them to give back to those who can benefit and can’t afford it in my community.”

I have spent 44 years in the school service industry successfully.
I chose music performance because I wanted to share my gift of music. I choose to start a music business in college to make money so I could.
But here is what I really learned from decades of working in the field…
Musicians need more support and opportunities. You all are so smart and capable and your talents and abilities are underutilized.
It made my heart hurt to realize you were not able to earn your worth. It made me know I had to do something more.
At Working Musicians Academy musicians feel better about their careers because they are building valuable skills to make more money on their terms.
I am more inspired than ever helping you create more options for life and work.
I am inspired seeing you hang your name on your front door and open your small business.
