So many musicians are working hard all the time with few results, because they’re drowning in overwhelm, with no clear process and a lack of basic skills.

 

Business comes down to knowledge, skills, and practice. You worked hard to learn music. You can learn to run your business. Let’s do this!

“There is literally no one I know who has studied the business of music more thoroughly than Christian. He is not only a master musician; he is one of the most knowledgeable people you’ll ever meet in learning how to make a living as a performer.”

Joel Harrison, Guggenheim Recipient, Composer, Guitarist (NYC)

“Things have been going really well and I continually think about how the Music Biz course instigated all my motivation for success this year! I’ve continued to follow the outline and plan developed in the class for my Inspiring Stewardship workshops. Because of this, I have presented Inspiring Stewardship workshops and performances to 1000 elementary and middle school students.”

– Stephen Wood, Composer and Clinician (Atlanta, GA)

“Truth, right here. After moving out of state and living in Frisco for a little over a month, we now teach 5 days a week, perform with 4 different groups (with very cool and talented musicians), and it keeps getting better. Chris got us here by helping us design a new plan and go through with it, and he kept it real 100% of the time. People who are that honest and give that much are hard to come by. If you want to up your music game in any way, get in touch. It’s one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.”

Neil Fong Gilfillan and Rachel Samson, Chili Dog Strings Teaching Studio (Frisco, TX)
