Career Tune-Up
For The Established Professional Guitarist
“Do not follow where the path may lead.Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What Is The Key To Elevating Your Career & Improving Your Music Business?
Realise Your Full Potential
Your music career is not a one-size-fits-all experience. It is unique and must be treated as such. Having a dedicated career coach who seriously cares about your success can help you take your music career to that next level.
If you are an established classical guitarist but feeling stuck at a certain stage in your career, you can receive one-on-one personalized coaching to help you overcome the personal and professional obstacles that are hindering you from realising your full potential.
The music industry is a complicated business and mistakes or oversights can stall or even set your career back. Having a success music career is not realised by accident but is a result of having a well thought-out strategy, a methodical and consistent implementation plan, and personal accountability.
“The music business is not a good place for people that don’t know things.”
Mary J. Blige
Experience, Knowledge, & Good Judgement
Developing a personalized strategy that will propel your career from where you are right now to where you want to be is not always clear or obvious. Shifts in your career, whether big or small, require not only strategic plans but thoughtful action. But even the most well thought-out plans can feel scary and even overwhelming.
Experience, knowledge, forethought, and sound judgment can help you make informed decisions that ensure that your actions (1) align with your purpose, (2) creates a sustainable income, and (3) ensures that the music you create (and/or the music-related services that you provide) aligns with your purpose.
“Nothing in the world can take the place of perseverance. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost legendary. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Perseverance and determination alone are omnipotent.”
Calvin Coolidge
The Key
A "one-size-fits-all" approach for those who are established in their career will not address the unique challenges you face nor the opportunities before you. Similarly, the ever changing landscape of the industry means that what worked 15 years ago probably won't work quite the same today. Acquiring additional tools and gaining another perspective can help you get to where you want to be.
The key to all this is? Taking action!
If you do not implement what you know, it is all for not. That is why personal accountability is so important. In addition, you also need to be committed for the long haul and not expecting overnight results. This is not a race but a marathon. No "get rich quick" schemes here.
“If you do nothing, nothing changes.”
My Mission
I help aspiring musicians realise their personal and artistic potential by supporting them in developing their creative abilities, musical interests, and professional aspirations. Nothing gives me more fulfilment or greater satisfaction than guiding artistic souls in advancing their musical and technical capabilities as well as business acumen to the level that grants them the knowledge, skill, and creative freedom to follow their imagination.
I have over 35+ years of working within the industry, 26 years of experience teaching at a post-secondary institution, and a real passion for helping others realise their personal and professional dreams. I have also designed and taught music industry and music business courses. If you are at the stage where you need to develop a specialised plan to take your career to that next level, let's have a conversation.
It's Time To Breakthrough!
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Mark Twain
