“Barb takes you to the depths of your experiences in a safe and healthy way, encouraging you to lean into what comes up, and rise up from it through a song. Barb didn’t tell me what to do, only encouraged the truth to come out.”
“Barb distinguished what works for my music and what I can let go. In a free yet focused and non-judgmental way, Barb continually affirmed my creativity and championed the best aspects of my musicianship. If you want to evolve in your music-making, Barb’s guidance and mentorship is invaluable.”
“My son (age 12) has evolved into a better, more structured songwriter and musician. Not only is he learning so much from Barb’s years of expertise, he is motivated and benefits from their time spent together. Barb has become more than a mentor, but a trusting friend that he opens up to.”
HOW DOES MUSIC MENTORING WORK?
Are you a musician working toward the next level of professionalism? Get one-on-one personalized coaching to nurture your writing, recording, and creative goals. Navigate the ups-and-downs of creativity and the truths of the music and entertainment industry.
Have pieces of songs and don't know what to do with them? I'll guide you through the best in what you have, hold you accountable to deadlines, help you make sense of structure, discern the useful from the noisy, and help ideas come to fruition.
If you’re not quite ready to go into the recording studio with a studio budget, then working with a 20-year veteran producer on song structure, arrangements, building your hook, and overall song vibe through music mentoring is perfect for you.
