The Biggest Social Media Mistakes Classical Musicians Make

Introduction

If your posts aren’t landing, it’s not always the algorithm’s fault. Often, it’s the little mistakes that hold you back. Let’s break down the most common ones we see in classical music accounts — and how to fix them.

Mistake #1: Posting Only About Concerts

Nobody follows a billboard. Share your process and stories, not just event dates.

Mistake #2: Inconsistent Visuals

Random fonts, mismatched filters, low-res images = messy feed. Stick to 1–2 fonts, 1 editing style, 1 color palette.

Mistake #3: Never Engaging

Social media is a two-way street. Reply to comments, ask questions, join conversations.

Mistake #4: Ignoring Video

Reels outperform static posts. Even simple 10–15 sec clips get more reach.

Mistake #5: Forgetting the Call-to-Action

Every post should tell your audience what to do next: buy tickets, watch more, follow.

Quick Fix Checklist

• ✅ Mix content types (stories, reels, photos).

• ✅ Post in a consistent visual style.

• ✅ End every caption with a CTA.

• ✅ Engage daily, even if only for 10 minutes.

Conclusion

The best part? Every mistake is fixable. With small tweaks, your feed can start working for you instead of against you.
