2010 Development Courses Pilot Program Announced

Know of any emerging musical artists that are wanting to empower themselves to either: 1) Be in the drivers seat of their own career or 2) want to educate themselves about the industry and the possibilities to avoid being take advantage of.

If so, we are looking for no more than 10 participants for a pilot program that will feature the key education opportunities from SSR.


The initial Pilot Program is comprised of several different course modules, training opportunities and other networking opportunities. All of these items will be offered on a ala carte basis in 2010. However, for pilot and trial purposes, they have been bundled together as a single offering. The following are the core course components:

• Organizational Skills for the Working Musician/Musical Artist
• Project Management for Musicians
• Decision Making
• Strategic Planning
• Web Strategies
• Music Business Fundamentals


In addition to the core components, you will have an opportunity to participate in special one-on-one training and follow-up (3 complimentary hours). This is called Career Coaching and it can be likened to working with a physical trainer, but for a music career. The principle is to employ positive reinforcement with motivating techniques that help you build and stick to good habits and plans.

You will notice we use the word “coaching” rather than instruction. It is our philosophy that learning requires more bi-directional feedback and we aim to “coach” you to new levels of achievement, not just teach to you.

Lastly, as a member of this inaugural class, you will be invited to a graduation dinner where members will have the opportunity to perform.

If you know anyone who might be interested have them email SSR at info@saundersstreetrecords.com
