FOR THE WORKING PERFORMER

You already know how to play.
Now learn how to own the room.

WHAT THIS IS

Troubadour University is not music lessons.

 

Troubadour University offers one-on-one online and in-person coaching and mentorship for solo musicians, singers, and acoustic performers who want to build a successful live music career. From stage presence and performance confidence to setlist creation, audience engagement, branding, and booking gigs, we help working musicians turn their talent into a stronger, more professional live performance.

​​​

Learn how to:

​​

  • Hold a room

  • Feel calm on stage

  • Build believable sets

  • Move from "open mic regular" to trusted performer

​

This work is rooted in real rooms, real gigs, and long nights of paying attention.

​

No hype.

No shortcuts.

Just honest craft.

WHAT WE WORK ON

  • Stage presence and performance psychology

  • Building sets that last - physically and emotionally

  • Simplifying arrangements so the song carries the weight

  • Reading rooms and adjusting in real time

  • Developing a clear onstage identity

  • Turning gigs into sustainable momentum

  • Building a recognizable personal brand as a performer

  • Finding, approaching, and booking the right venues

  • Marketing yourself and growing your audience

  • Developing professional relationships that lead to repeat bookings​

​​

  Technique is respected here — but it serves sincerity, not the other way around.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Troubadour University is a good fit if you:

​

  • Already play and sing at a basic level

  • Want to perform solo with confidence

  • Care more about connection than flash

  • Are willing to learn in real rooms, not hide in practice spaces

  • Want to turn your performing ability into more gigs and a stronger career

​​

This is not for absolute beginners or people looking for cheap weekly lessons.

HOW IT WORKS

Private Music Performance & Career Coaching

​

  • One-on-one sessions

  • Online coaching available worldwide, with in-person sessions in Burlington, Ontario

  • Drop-in sessions or short packages

​​

Each engagement is shaped around the performer — not a rigid curriculum.

​

​

A NOTE ON APPROACH

This work is grounded in one belief:

​

Audiences forgive missed notes.

They do not forgive insincerity.

​

Everything we do starts there.
