A Coach for Young Music Creators
Meet Ben Crosthwaite
There's never been a better time to be a young music creator -- but there's a downside.
All the tutorial videos on YouTube can lead to overwhelm and confusion. Professional quality gear is more affordable and accessible than ever, but students get disappointed when they realize they don't know how to use it.
If you're here, it's probably because your student is full of musical potential and you want to see them reach that potential without the frustration and overwhelm.
I'm so glad you're here, because nothing makes me happier than helping young music creators reach their potential!
To show you how much I love to help, leave me any question you have about music gear, my coaching, or how to say Billie Eilish's last name, and I'll send you a video response just because I like to help.
Here's to the next musical chapter!
