As an aspiring artist manger taking Alma's course is helping to make my dreams a reality! The knowledge and understand that Alma has of the music industry is on a much deeper level than expected and her methodology of teaching is real and honest. Being around her for a little over a month has given me a new way of thinking about the artists I've developing and ways to help navigate their journey. Without giving too much away this course is as much mindset as it technical ways to improve. Being successful in the music industry is easy to learn yet takes many years to master. Spending time on this course was one of my best investments and excited for what is to come.

Alma's as a mentor inspires one to keep looking, keep believing in one's music and also be confident that you can have a living out of your music career. I've been eager to get out of my room and due to the lack of opportunities I was giving up, but now, not only with all the knowledge Alma shared which was pure gold I've connected with the other students and trying to build a community out of this mentorship. 10/10
