Music Careers Mentoring Program
You actually work on your career while being in this program. You don't just sit around and listen; you get up and act. It's hands on, it's a lot of work sometimes, and it's a lot of fun too. Since entering the program, my life and career has been changing direction, and has plotted a very positive course towards my goals and dreams.
MCMP has been the greatest investment I have ever made in my music career and myself. Before joining this program I subscribed to the false Belief that you had to be a "rock star" to have a career in the music Business. Thanks for helping me to learn the truth. I have made more Progress in my music career in the short time I have been studying with you than I did in the past 20-something years on my own and without any proper guidance.
First off, because Tom Hess' name is attached to this class you know it is world-class instruction that you simply can't find anywhere else. A career in music is broken down and information is shared that most people spend a lifetime trying to figure out. I guarantee that if you follow the concepts and ideas in the MCMP you will see a significant difference in the direction of your career. If you apply the knowledge you gain you cannot fail. It amazes me that Tom would be so willing to give this information away freely.
Hi, I'm Tom Hess.
I have sold records and toured worldwide in front of huge audiences of thousands of people. I have had a hit single on the charts in three European countries. I have also done professional session work and taught thousands of music lessons to people all over the world.
Through multiple streams of music related income, I have made significant money in the music business doing the things that most musicians only dream about and now I'm ready to show you how You Can Achieve Your Goals!
I teach students all over the world. I am totally committed to them and their success. I've trained many to play like the pros but most were not yet actually professionals in the industry; making serious money, developing a strong and stable career and living the dream of a fulfilling musical life.
I spent years planning and creating this amazing program as a solution to help them (and you) to reach your goals in the shortest time possible.
I learned a lot of things the hard way - through years of study, trial and error, etc. The MCMP was designed to save you years of wasted time, frustration, and to help you to avoid common mistakes and pitfalls.
Originally this program was only offered to my private students, but now I am ready and willing to share these valuable secrets with you to help you to Get The Results You Desire.
The skills you will learn will make you successful not only in music, but also in anything you undertake.
The MCMP was designed for all instruments and genres. Yes, I play guitar in rock and metal bands, but the program itself is not intended for guitar players or rock musicians only.
Music business is music business and although there are some small differences between different genres of music, the business and opportunities work essentially the same way.
You have the unique opportunity to be trained, coached and mentored by a real professional musician, proven teacher and mentor in the music industry.
Every 10 days the entire session (approximately an hour in length) will be available to you via downloadable audio files from a secured private section of the tomhess.net website. (If you have a very slow internet connection, please contact me for alternative ways to receive the sessions.) There are 52 sessions and the entire program runs 520 days total (52 sessions x 10 days between each session = 520 days).
Listening to the sessions is like having me right there talking directly to you!
Each session will consist of a combination of high value information, training coaching, mentoring, and assignments. In each session your assignments may involve working independently or with other students. You will be involved in various career development and professional projects etc.
This is nothing like any "book, class or school" you have ever read or attended before. What I do here is show you exactly what to do now, in the mid term and in the long term. You will have an effective mentor/ leader in front of you (me), a strong team beside you, a highly motivated network of people around you and a set of systems, tools and resources at your disposal throughout your journey to become the professional in the music industry you wish to become.
If you are committed, I want to be your teacher, your coach, your trainer and your mentor. I am here for the long term because I am (and have always been) committed to helping and leading my students towards their goals and success. The entire Tom Hess Music Corporation was built on my genuine long term commitment to those I teach and mentor.
The MCMP is not music lessons. There is no musical training whatsoever in this program.
This is not similar to any music industry or music business books. The MCMP goes far beyond the scope of any book.
This program is unlike college or music business programs where it's all a bunch of theory taught by someone has never done anything other than taught in a classroom.
Who do you think is better qualified to teach you how to reach your music career goals; some college professor (who has only read about these things in books), or a real life professional musician who has actually done and is doing the things that you want to do? Expensive universities can offer you some helpful information, but won't mentor your career personally.
Also, how could someone walk you through the process of developing an actual successful music career in the course of a semester? They cannot!
How do I know these things? I went to college, studied and earned two music degrees.
But,
We have people in the MCMP who already have music degrees (including Berklee College of Music graduates). These people joined the program after they finished school to get the pieces of the puzzle which school did not and could not give them.
I've become successful by design, not by luck. The things I have done can be taught and learned. The MCMP is about learning, being trained, being coached and being mentored... I've made it and you CAN TOO!
I'll take you through not just one set of strategies, but dozens of them.
A unique benefit of the MCMP is the powerful built in network, relationships and connections provided by the MCMP network (the forum). The private forum itself is almost as valuable as the actual sessions. You will be surrounded by like-minded serious musicians.

By working with me and within your MCMP team / network you will achieve more results faster and more easily than you could on your own. You can support and encourage each other and fill in gaps in each other's skills and knowledge.
You can encourage discouraged team members. They can encourage you when you may need it. They fill in the gaps in your skill sets. They can be strong where you are weak. As a team, you move much faster.
If you want to reach your goals faster, you need leverage which comes from a committed mentor and a strong team/network.
In addition to learning from me you also will learn a great deal from the other members of the MCMP... their triumphs, their victories, their past mistakes and failures.... etc. You will be in a constant state of growth and learning.
When an opportunity or situation arises in your life/career you can turn to me and the entire MCMP group for massive support and guidance, we are here to help you WIN, to help you make it and to support you and do everything we can so you will be successful.
Along with the MCMP forum you will also have free access to the private Tom Hess General Students Forum. This valuable forum has a very supportive community of musicians and plenty of qualified professional teachers. Because it is private it doesn't suffer from the problems that plague most online forums (trolls and troublemakers). Quality people and quality advice makes this quite possibly the best music related forum on the web!
As you can imagine, I receive hundreds of requests from musicians around the world who wish to join this program. Unfortunately due to the sheer volume of people applying for this program I simply am unable to accept everyone.
I don't want to work with just any person off of the street. I want people who are Serious, Motivated, Committed and willing to do what I ask. It will not be easy, but it will be well worth it. If selected, you will be working with myself and my Team!
After you pre register I will send you a written test (generally within 48 hours) to determine your readiness for this program. If I believe you are truly ready now, I will gladly accept you into this program. If you are not yet ready at this time I will let you know what you need to do to prepare and become ready for the next MCMP group.
A better question might be, What is the cost if you don't join the MCMP?
How much will it cost you in terms of years of wasted time and money trying to figure out how to make it on your own?!!
Your investment to be in the program is less than the cost of an hour guitar lesson ($33 per session). MCMP Sessions occur every 10 days. You pay per session via Paypal subscription. It is fast, easy, convenient and very reasonable when you weigh the small financial investment against the time, money and frustration you will be saving yourself.
Note: If Paypal is not available in your country we can make other payment arrangements, but you must contact me directly in advance.
It would be foolish to miss out on this opportunity to educate yourself on the way to create the life and career that you have always wanted.
Here's the bottom line - you can either keep working your crappy day job, doing your weekend gigs and wishing that something bigger could happen for you, or you can TAKE ACTION NOW, make an investment in yourself and your career, and learn from someone who is already doing what you WANT to do.
The next MCMP group begins January 13, 2009 and pre-registration is open now until January 11, 2009. Everyone who pre-registers for the MCMP will receive access to 4 free introductory mini sessions full of valuable music career advice.
Only 5 days left...
