100FrMusic Hacker : How to make it big in music and have an incredible career

Trusted teacher: As a musician, I went from the bedroom to the big stage. I came to London with £90 in my pocket and within months had turned it into a £70,000 publishing advance and within 5 months I was signed to Sony for £250,000. I was touring with Eminem within a year and my story has become a best-selling book 'California Schemin' and an award-winning Documentary and will soon be a theatre play and motion picture. I came from nowhere and made it happen. I have unrivaled experience o the music business and teach artists how to make it and how to not get screwed by the music industry. From creating a brand, developing your music/production/songwriting, to brand building and clever marketing techniques to guarantee you get where you are going without losing your rights. The music industry is a tough place and 99% of all artists never see the light of day. For 16 years I've made a living from my art, multiple revenue streams that have allowed me to break free from the normal rat race of working jobs you hate when you are born creative. I help break artists, writers, musicians free from the catch 22 life of never having time to develop their music into mind-blowing art that the world can fall in love with. The business is set up to trip artists up, I'm here to make sure artists love the art and teach them ways to get around the traps of the music business.

This course is for students, musicians, singers, songwriters, and composers who want to develop their own musical ideas with the guidance of a professional composer. I can help you write, organize, revise, and develop your music, whether you are working on a song, a piano piece, a chamber piece, a vocal work, a composition exercise, or a larger creative project. My approach is practical, analytical, and personalized. I will not impose one single style on you. Instead, I will help you understand your own musical language, identify what your piece needs, and build the technical tools to make your ideas clearer, stronger, and more coherent. We can work on: • Composition technique • Songwriting • Melody writing • Harmony and chord progressions • Form and structure • Arranging • Counterpoint basics • Text setting • Writing for voice • Writing for instruments • Developing musical ideas • Finishing unfinished pieces • Score review • Creative process and artistic direction The first session works as a diagnosis. We review your current level, musical background, goals, references, and any material you already have. From there, we create a focused plan. You may also book 2 sessions (diagnosis and follow-up) to receive general commentary and a review on your song or music piece.

Pian

My son had his first-ever Piano lesson with Pian, initially, I was worried that he would get intimidated by the complicated music notes and concepts, and immediately lose interest in learning. But Pian is an experienced teacher who knows how to lead the kids into the topic, she was methodical and patient. Myy son had lots of fun in his first lesson, and he is looking forward to the next one. Pian also had done some follow-ups, to share some learning materials with me which are very helpful. I would recommend Pian to anyone who wants to have a patient, experienced, caring and resourceful piano teacher.
