Does this sound like you?

  • You have an idea for a side-business but you don't know where to start.

  • Your freelance career has been drastically affected by Covid.

  • You want to feel more in control of your performing work, but you aren't sure how to go about this.

  • You’re worried about self-promotion, and concerned that it doesn’t feel like ‘you’.

  • You’re hesitant to start something new because there’s always so much to juggle.

  • You’re concerned about showcasing too many different strands of your business.

Hi, I'm Kathleen,

I help multi-talented pro musicians stand out and create sustainable careers.  I'm a freelance cellist, and in 2017, I founded a company called Music In Vision, which provides Music Supervision, Casting, and Consultancy for the film and TV industry. I started The Musician Method earlier in 2020, in order to pass on the skills that I have learned through running a business, to other musicians. The 'Grow Your Music Business' course is the latest offering- a one month group consultancy programme designed to help you grow your freelance business, or start up something totally different.

"I will walk you through my signature method for creating an authentic career strategy that will build your brand and business".

Introducing

I'd love to help you!

Did you know that you are already an entrepreneur? 

There are lots of great courses out there offering support and strategy to budding business owners, but I feel that as musicians, we often don't think that term applies to us. But guess what? You're basically going through the hustle of creating an entrepreneurial venture EVERY SINGLE DAY! 

As if being an expert in our field of study wasn't enough, we musicians also need to become experts in marketing our services, web design, creating online content, selling our product, and so much more. 

Grow Your Music Business is a one-month programme created specifically for freelance musicians. It starts on Monday 2nd November, 2020. 

Whether you're looking to progress your performing career, or have an idea for a side-hustle, I've got some seriously useful tools to help you on your way.

Sounds good!

How does a group course work?

We'll hold a live session at the beginning of each week to ensure that you can properly get to grips with the current topic. You'll also have access to a 1-2-1 call with me each week, for 30 minutes, to ensure you're on track. And although it will be really valuable to see what other participants are working on, you won't be required to work together on your projects (unless you want to!).

OK, can you tell me more about the curriculum?

This is the juicy bit. We'll be covering all the things you need to progress your project, or give your freelance career a big boost. Click on the + sign for each section to check out the main topics.

Take charge of your career

If you're looking to make change, this course is for you. Tailored worksheets and tasks to log insight will help you to develop personalised plans. And it's so easy to implement. With effective step-by-step guides, I don’t just tell you; I show you!

Imagine if you could:

  • Feel like you are building on your skills and projects each day, instead of taking shots in the dark?

  • Plan out your time and projects more easily freeing up time for practise and family?

  • Start up the great project or business idea that you've always imagined?

What will I gain from this course?

I want to ensure that you take away:

  • A renewed sense of confidence.

  • A supportive community of like-minded musicians.

  • A clear plan for how to move forward with your business.

  • A curated online presence that is fit for purpose.

  • A solid business plan.

  • An understanding of how to create a strategy for your freelance career or start-up.

  • Tips for running a business (music or otherwise) and maintaining your creative activities as part of this.

So, how much is it?

At this time, musicians need practical career solutions more than ever. But it needs to be cost-effective. Providing music business consultancy as a group will hopefully enable interested musicians to access the support they need.

I'm certain that this training will be hugely valuable for you.

To be clear, this course is right for you if...

  • You are a seasoned professional looking for ways to establish an online presence.

  • You have an idea for a side business (music-related or not), and you want to learn how to develop this.

  • You want to develop a coherent, practical, career plan.

But don't just take my word for it!

Here are a few of my previous clients:

“I came to Kathleen for help on a visa proposal in May 2020 and I would come back to Kathleen in a second for any other project questions. Working with Kathleen has been such a great experience, she was there for me every step of the way. She ensured that all my proposals were in great shape and showcased my idea clearly and convincingly. Her work ethic is like no other and she is truly dedicated to helping you succeed. Kathleen empowered me to put myself out there and be confident with the work I do. I completed both from ‘Vision to Venture’ and ‘Switch Up Your Strategy’ course on The Musician Method. They were both very user friendly and took me step by step from my creative ideas into organised corporate documents. They are a great resource for any creative brain to cultivate their talents and help them succeed in whatever they set their minds to. I look forward to finding more ways to work with Kathleen, as well as using the tools she gave me to see what else I can accomplish.”

Avi Green- Mezzo Soprano

“The Musician Method has been an amazing tool in helping me distil what is unique about my work. The branding section of the course helped me redefine my audiences and tailor a website and bio that felt both true to myself as well as being enticing to my audience. Kathleen is also incredibly personable and friendly, with advice and guidance delivered with flair and encouragement.”

Anna Pool- Composer and Producer

“The Musician Method is something that every freelance musician should check out. As a recent graduate out of music college, the courses Kathleen provides have helped me create clear and concise goals both for the short term and long term. ”

I still have a few questions...

  • What happens when I purchase? 

    You'll receive full details of what to expect, and how to prepare, directly to your inbox. You’ll be able to view a message from Kathleen and take an initial survey so that I know how I can best help you throughout the following month. Instructions will also be sent to your email address. Check your spam folder if it doesn't appear, and of course please contact me on [email protected] if you have any issues whatsoever. You will also be emailed log-in confirmation for The Musician Method Thinkific site, which is where I host the course. All live sessions will be run through here, and it means that course material can be easily downloadable from one place. 

  • How do I know that my payment is secure? 

    My payment processor is Stripe, which is a trusted worldwide online payment provider. You can pay in any currency. This is linked to the Thinkific page where I will be running the course. 

  • Can I pay in a different currency/take the course outside the UK?

    Yes, of course. It will all be carried out remotely, and the payment provider, Stripe, can accept payments in any currency.

  • How much time will I need to spend each week? 

    I would say a minimum of  two hours per week. If you are working towards a specific project, or want to set up a business, you'll get lots more out of it if you have more availability. Remember, this month is your opportunity to access tons of support from me personally. I'll be there to answer your questions and give direction and motivation.

  • What if I can't make the live sessions?

  • I don't know if the course is right for me? I have a few questions...

    Just get in touch! I'll be more than happy to answer your queries, and I'll also let you know if I don't think that the course is the right step for you at this stage.

  • What if the course doesn't work for me? Will I get a refund?

    In short, yes, of course. If this training does not help you in any way, and you are unhappy with it, that seems fair. However, I would of course try to allay any initial concerns and fix whatever problem you felt you had with the sessions and content. I want clients to feel free to have an open dialogue with me for the duration of the course, so hopefully we would be able to resolve any concerns and continue to get you the results

I hope to see you there!

Just so you're aware, this is a limited time offer, because we start on 2nd November, 2020. To ensure everyone gets the support they need, I have limited the availability of places
