Virtuoso returns with a brand new course, the “Virtuoso Artist Accelerator”, created to support artists in designing, planning and executing their electronic music career.
Virtuoso is offering a 6-week programme to emerging artists and anyone interested in getting their foot into the music industry, from Wednesday, June 28th to Thursday, August 4th.
The programme provides access to world-class industry experts, specialised resource material, A&R consultancy, accountability support, extended aftercare from the Virtuoso team after the course is complete and much more. All of the “Virtuoso Artist Accelerator” sessions will be recorded, so you won’t miss out on any valuable information and tools for advancing your music career.
Limited Space!
Virtuoso has decided to limit the course to just 30 participants. The reason being is each member will get a full experience, not one that’s been watered down as well as the potential to interact with the host and guests.
All who enrol on the programme will be encouraged to participate in collaborations with each other in and out of sessions. You will be expected to and supported in creating your own brand, press kits and how to approach labels and more.
