Many emerging artists face common struggles when starting out - knowing how to effectively release music, creating consistent and authentic content, and feeling like no one is listening to their songs.

They often wonder: How do I find my audience? How do I get more listeners on Spotify? Is it even possible to promote my music without constantly marketing myself?

Previous workshop participants have said:

"Late last year, we set out to re-boot our recording career after a break to raise our child and work in community music. The IHSC Music Marketing workshop gave us the gentle kick-start we needed. Down-to-earth, honest, realistic, practical and very helpful. It sparked questions and ideas that helped us to shape our path and direct our energies in effective ways. Thank you to Francesca and I Heart Songwriting for offering this valuable service to the music-creating community." Cath Mundy OAM & Jay Turner OAM (Mundy-Turner)

"I came to this workshop dreading self-promotion and the grossness of “the industry”. I left excited and motivated, with realistic, individualized goals I had set myself, and a clear, structured process I could follow which dissolved the overwhelm and made sure I focused my limited time and money on what will make the biggest impact. I am now three weeks away from releasing a single and feel clear and confident about what I am trying to achieve and how I will do so." - Previous Workshop Participant
