Episode 39:  Katy Elman is a friend of BSP and owner of Southern Percussion in the UK. Being a trained musician, attending music schools from an early age, Katy ultimately had a unique opportunity to take over a retail sheet music company. We talk about this transition from performing to operating Southern Percussion, how her company has grown significantly over the last 10+ years, and some of the connections between our two businesses. Katy also has a new educational project getting off the ground this Summer called the Southern Percussion Institute, which we learn more about during our conversation! - - - - Connect with Katy www.southernpercussion.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/SouthernPercussion Instagram: www.instagram.com/southernpercussion YouTube: www.youtube.com/user/SPercuk - - - - 2021 Percussion Ensemble Showcase winners:  www.blackswamp.com/percussion-ensemble-showcase - - - - Music From This Episode Anthony Di Bartolo: Whimsical by Nature https://www.adibartolopercussion.com/ Sound Cloud Spotify Band Camp - - - - Get Social with Black Swamp: Newsletter: http://bit.ly/BSPFam BSP Fam: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BSPFam/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/blackswampperc/ Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/blackswamppercussion/ Twitter:  https://twitter.com/blackswamp
