What People Are Saying…

“This is a fantastic tool and exercise! Brian is like a musical personal trainer.” -Poe

"I'm loving the 5-min producer! It's really getting me in there to do the work more and more often. Thank you!!!” -Scott L.

“Very inspiring course” - Pit Spector

“I have been really enjoying the 5 Minute Music Producer so far. I have learned so many things from it and I am trying harder to have music become more of a habit for myself. I now understand that you don't have to have some large musical project or task to feel fulfilled in a session, you could just spend 5 minutes doing something simple and it could end there, or you could let yourself become immersed in it and let your creativity run wild for an hour or 2 just on that one thing, and that's what I love about it!” - R.
