Success Beyond The Score

'Time For My Music' is an online private, friendly, collegial membership group for emerging female singers, instrumentalists, singer-songwriters, rappers and DJs. This is for you if:

• You think you might have left it too late, but deep down you feel you should give it one more push.   It's not too late.  Whether you are in your 20s 30s 40s 50s or 60s and believe that now is time for your music, this community group is here to help female musicians achieve their goals.  Check out the ‘How will it benefit’ me section for examples of achievements by group members.

• You yearn to play in a live setting, taking your music to a wider audience, maybe get paid but you don’t know where to start. 
• You're returning to music after a break. It is now time to achieve your music goals, but you need help in understanding the tech, boosting your confidence and how to get back in. 

• You have occasional performances, but it doesn't seem to be working, and you'd like to give your music one last push to see if you can realise your music dreams.

Time for My Music helps women to become confident, successful, and bookable performers who get paid and live out their music dreams.

Here are the amazing experiences of members of the group: 

• One, who at the beginning refused to even stand in front of a camera in the privacy of her home, was later able to perform in front of a full theatre.
•  Another went from feeling that PA systems were impossible to comprehend to talk to sound engineers at their level. 
• One more became part of a band.  

• Other got her first paid gig, and has continued to get work.
•  Another set up as a duo with her best friend and has residency at a restaurant.

The examples are endless.

In this female only space you will

• Meet like-minded women and talk with them about your music, your aspirations and the difficulties you have found along the way.
• Be able to discuss gender issues as it pertains to your music.

• Participate in group projects and talks, complete tasks and shape your future in the music industry..

The online experience happens within a private community group space.  It includes a Live video section, for our online meetups.  Resources and video replays.  You can post messages, and reply to others, via audio, text or video to engage in conversations.

The platform is available 24 x 7 x 12.  Only registered users have access to our private group. 

In-person meet ups for concert rehearsal, or agreed once a year meetup. You will be given adequate notice of these, so you can decide if you wish to attend, as additional fees for venue hire, and resources, may apply.

There are two meetups for the month, a workshop and DCC. 

(The replay for the workshop is available in the library if you miss a session but DCC is not videoed because of the nature of the discussion).  

• Workshop - fourth Wednesday of the month, at 7.30pm - 9pm UK).  Covering a variety of topics such as the equipment you need to perform online or live; improving your stage presence; creating your electronic press kit; working with backing tracks; working in a band; your health and your music.   There are also Q&A sessions, where you can ask questions and receive an honest, no-holds barred, expert reply. 
  
  These topics are to assist you with becoming a confident, bookable performer who gets paid while living out your music dream.

• 'Drinks, Chill and Chat' - Once a month on a Saturday morning (11am - 1230pm UK). This is a supportive and friendly session where group members share their progress, challenges, network and get mutual support.   Dates are agreed in advance. As the name implies, you may bring a beverage of your choice to sip along as you chat.

• Performances - When an online or in-person concert is planned, planning and preparation is carried out within DCC or the workshop session.   

All sessions are supervised by Millicent.  You can read more about Millicent below.

The workshops are delivered by Millicent or invited industry guests*. 

The Drinks Chill and Chat sessions are member led, facilitated by Tiny Sax, and with visits from Millicent.

*From time-to-time experts in the field are invited to give turn-key presentations.  You will be given adequate notice, so you can decide if you wish to attend, should guest fees apply.

Women in Time For My Music started as hobbyists.  They are now giving public performances. Some have gone on to work in bands. Many receive paid work.  

The women have also learnt how to put on a show, and have participated in Time For My Music's online and in-person concerts. 

The women's photographs were displayed in a photographic exhibition at OLDP, Broad Street, Birmingham.

Statistically, there are not many women in the music industry, and this group is set up to help redress the balance. For this reason, Time For My Music is a female only community. However, other genders do have access to Millicent service through her free resources, podcast, coaching, and courses on www.successbeyondthescore.com
