Success in any
field requires organization, discipline and consistency. For
right-brained, creative songwriters and artists, that can often be
a challenge, especially if you have to do it all on your own. This
program is designed to give you support and help you stay focused
as you learn and grow.
Meetings can take
place in person, over the phone or on line with Skype. You can
start any time.
There are four components to this
program:
1.
2 hour initial
consultation
We’ll begin the
first session by discussing what your ultimate goals are for your
music - in other words, what you would be doing if all your dreams
came true? Then I'll listen to some songs and give you feedback on
their craft and commercial potential. Based on your level of
development and what you’d like to accomplish, we’ll establish an
action plan with specific long-term and short-term goals designed
to fit your life and the way you like to work.
2.
Monthly consultations
At 30 day
intervals we will meet for about an hour. I’ll listen to songs
you’ve worked on in the last month and give feedback. Then we’ll
look at how you did meeting the goals in your action plan for the
month. We’ll celebrate the successes, learn from whatever didn’t
work and then make new goals for the following month.
3.
Weekly contact
If you’d like
some input on a song you’re working on, have a question about the
music business, or just need a pep talk you can call, Skype or
email once or twice a week for a brief (ten minutes or less)
conversation.
