HeartString

Learn the HeartString Way

Begin where you are—with no experience, or with a career behind you.

One practice. Three levels.
Level 1 starts with listening, voice and presence, before any instrument, so somebody who has never played can begin there. Musicians already working enter at the level that fits and keep going: grow the craft, then prepare to carry the music on the road.

  1. Workshop 1Feel
  2. Workshop 2Grow
  3. StudioPractice
  4. Workshop 3Prepare
  5. TourCarry it
  6. NetworkContribute

This shows how the practice can grow around a person, not a compulsory ladder. Start at the level that fits; no one has to complete every stage.
