A few times a year we host music industry panels, workshops and special Artist Development learning series. These usually take place on a Thursday evening but our Zoom sessions vary on the days and times based on the panelist availability.

Every year we do a MEET THE MENTORS panel where we have a 1 hour panel and then the mentors go into smaller groups to answer specific artist questions.

During the workshops, if you have a current college ID, you may attend for free, but you MUST RSVP. Full band discounts are available for full band attendance. Please call us for a special price. There are no discounts for the MEET THE MENTORS panels.

We guarantee a very small stipend to our workshop leaders…pennies on the dollar based on their regular consulting fee. The rest of the monies collected for admission or donation, half goes to the physical venue to help them keep their doors open and the rest goes directly back into Meet the Mentors administration & advertising efforts. CASH is accepted at the door but an RSVP is requested.

Our current PR/ADVISORY board members are volunteering their time and skills to growing the Music Biz Mentor & thecoolschool events! If you would like to be part of our efforts or have a suggestion as to an industry or songwriting group we should invite to our program, we welcome your input!
