This is a great overall class for learning about the music business from an independent musician's viewpoint. This class certainly is one of the better ones. I think one of the strong points of this course was the overall goal setting and mindset. It helps people to focus a bit and think more of the overall impact they will have and not a get rich quick scheme. It provides the framework for a long term healthy business. People will need some further knowledge on certain subjects but this is a great overall guide!

Love this course. It has great teachers that explains the concept very easily with examples and with practical guides. Mikael is my go-to guy for everything involves music from theory, composing, producing and this. I recommend this course highly.

I'm certainly not gonna follow every "hero path" there is in music, but i'm mostly sure that i'm into the music producer / sound designer and for the content related to that i've learned a lot and also refreshed thing i already knew before. This course will certainly be very useful in the future as it deals with a lot of different aspects of the music career such as branding, and youtube setting and just for that alone it's already good enough.

I decided to leave a review after completing the course and I can say that I found it very helpful and insightful. This course is not for everyone. It is for those who use the computer as an instrument rather than people who want to break into the industry as a singer/songwriter for example. I found the tips and tricks really helpful and Mikael and Gary demonstrate the wide knowledge they have of music production. I would have liked to have learnt more about licencing, publishing, making deals and things like that. But I still found this course very helpful as more of a breakthrough before these things might come along. Thank you very much :D

Mike comes across as a really lovely guy who genuinely wants to see you succeed. He starts off emphasising the importance of getting into the 'Action Mindset' which some people may think is straying from a purely objective music business course. However, many creative people (like myself) don't have any problem in writing material but do have problems getting into business mode, and can feel overwhelmed by the size of the learning curve that you face as a self-promoting artist. This can lead to procrastination on a grand scale purely from not knowing what to do with the pockets of time you have available for your new business venture. Also knowledge without action is useless. He does quickly get into the meat of things with practical information and 'to-do' lists and helpful bonus templates and downloads. Just the clarity of thought that has arisen from actually beginning to understand what to DO with my music when I've written it has been a massive help for me. I haven't finished it yet, but if it carries on at this standard I thoroughly recommend Mike's course. Will Oliver

Very good actionable items. Good strategies and information. Definitely geared towards the beginner professional artist/composer, but in that bailiwick, very good strategies and research. Would recommend to new composers looking to develop a career in music.
By Gavin on 8/16/2017
i'm a semi professional composer and found this course to be very helpful in taking my career further. Well presented by two different trainers, with great ideas, tips and tricks. Definitely worth doing this course if you want to improve your chance of making it in the music industry.
By Shawn Rudolph on 8/2/2017
I'm not very far into this course and already loving it. Mike clearly outlines steps to take when you are just starting out, all the way through to the end. From getting started with branding, to live stream content. It's all here.
By Akin Fatunmbi on 7/30/2017
A well produced and nicely presented course with a wealth of inspiring and practical information. There is a lot of content to get through, as should be expected from a masterclass. The instructor's desire to share their ideas and knowledge is very motivating. Highly recommended.
By Brendon Hayes on 7/28/2017
This course is so informative and motivational. The content not only educates on steps to success but also shapes your thinking and motivates you into taking action steps to success. I cannot recommend this course enough to anyone who is serious about progressing their stage in music.
