Cluster Coaching
Cluster is dedicated to supporting and fostering the growth of artists. In addition to working with its resident artists, Cluster also offers its coaching services to a wider range of musicians and composers.
Are you working on a project and in need of advice? Do you have business-related questions or want to refine your artistic ideas? In addition to supporting our resident artists, Cluster also extends its expertise to artists outside our core team. Whether you're seeking creative growth or looking to take strategic business steps, we offer tailored coaching to help you move forward. We believe the knowledge and experience we've gained over the years shouldn't just benefit us but can also inspire and empower others.
How does it works?
At the end of each year, artists can apply for a coaching program for the upcoming year. Are you a professional musician or aspiring to become one, working within the global music scene? Then this might be for you!
From the applications, we select one or more artists who align with our vision and where we can truly make a difference. Together, we focus on all aspects of creation and professional artistry, with the aim of building a sustainable career. This program is designed to inspire, empower, and help you grow as a composer and musician.
