We
believe that most of you reading this are mainly looking for simple
answers: "What is my next, best step?" "Where am
I as a Songwriter?" and "Can you help me with my dream
of doing this?"
If
you think that a music ministry is what God has planned for you,
you have songs you want to share with the world, or you are planning
on recording a CD project, we begin all artists and songwriters
with our
consulting services.
We
have three levels of consultation.
Level
1: "The Christian Artist Development
Workshop" in Nashville, TN.
This
is Stop Number One in our work. And this is a critical process.
Would you build a house without knowing why you are building it?
Much less where, for who, and what will be the plans for it?
Our
team is vast, with experienced producers, players, studios, engineers,
and other ready to develop you and your music ministry into something
truly special. But we can't even start without getting to know
you, your heart, your goals and calling for ministry, and also
letting you get to know us.
Plus
we find that it's just smart to meet and work together for a day
before you start spending thousands of dollars on a project.
So,
here's how we begin working with clients.
Introduction
We
meet at our new office/studios in Franklin, TN and begin with
a guided tour of our facility by one of our staff, and then a
video introduction to our company and our artists. We spend the
next hour talking about your musical history and talents, and
what you think God is leading you to do. Then we shift to what
we've done for artists through songwriting, arranging, CD production,
web, and design, and talk about other things we offer artists
through our relationships in Nashville and the Christian music
industry.
What
is Success?
We
then enter into a time of talking about your vision of success
in all this. Is it getting a record or publishing deal? Is it
leading worship? Is it to simply glorify God? We talk about true
success in music ministry and we spend some time looking at what
other artists, writers, and ministries are doing. We try to find
out what has made them successful in ministry.
Artist
Development
Next we take a look at the whole process, how we develop artists
and their songs. We talk about the entire production process,
and what we do after the product is out to help artists have success.
Income
Streams
We discuss the different ways artists support their ministry.
A very important aspect of being an artist for the long term.
Ministry
Business
Then we go over how to form a ministry or music business, the
business angles, and what other things give a music ministry credibility
and lasting success.
Songs
and Talent
This is a time where we talk about your original songs, your
voice, and take a good look at what you've done musically. We
talk about the importance of strong songs in the music ministry
industry. We also talk about co-writing, how you can be involved
with the songs for your ministry even if you are not a strong
writer, and how you can provide songs for other music ministries
and publishers.
The Plan for Your Ministry
Finally, we will work on building a specific plan for starting
or energizing your music ministry or business. We'll determine
what your goals are, what your first steps need to be, and what
you need to be working on to improve your craft.
You
will go home inspired, maybe tired, but certainly with confidence
that you are growing to a new level in your talent and ministry.
Level
2: Phone Consulting. These one hour phone consults
are designed to help you get answers to some of your questions,
at a substantial savings and without that messy traveling ;).
We recommend contacting us, and later sending a CD or MP3s for
us to review before we talk.
Level
3: Demo Critique Service.
A good first step for artists who really just want to know where
they stand with their songs. Click
