Are you ready to change the way you make and teach music?
[tvo_shortcode id=17618]
Think about the possibilities that come from sitting in a room alongside dozens of musicians who need no introduction to how you think musically. They don’t just understand it, they live it everyday. Those are the people who can help you take your music to the next level. And they’ll be in Columbus this July.
If you’re worried about making the investment in coming, email me at chris@christianhowes.com or call me at 614-332-8689. I will personally answer you because I want you to feel comfortable and excited about being with us. There is nothing more important to me in my work right now than helping you feel like you’re leaving Columbus with a positively life changing experience this July!
