The Music Mentorship Program
The Music Mentorship Program provides private and group sessions on everything from songwriting, to music school applications (compiling portfolios, filming/producing audition tapes, writing essays, etc.), to music production on ProTools, to finding ways to use creativity to help the world - all tailored to the students’ individual goals!
