Arts Marketing, Music, Performance

The Melody Crafters is an organisation that provides a unique teaching service, in which all of our instrumental teachers are industry professionals - from session artists to touring performers. We therefore offer a holistic approach to music lessons, in which students not only get invaluable creative and technical skills, but also one-of-a-kind insight into developing as an artist on the whole.

When I started out, I wish I had known the importance of developing an understanding of the music industry as a whole. I was taught that music was a hobby, not a viable career path, and as I have built my experience over the years, I have realised the wealth of incredible, exciting and varied opportunities available to musicians, from collaborations and unique composition jobs to performances across the world!
