What do coaches do?

Coaching and mentoring is vital to a developing artist. Many artists begin by a traditional teacher or classroom model, whether by taking piano lessons, participating in a class project, or going to an art conservatory or college program.

Many developing artists will naturally find a teacher who they feel a close relationship with and appreciate their natural style.

A great way to find a mentor is to reach out to favorite teachers you have liked in the past, and see if they offer official coaching, have digital or print resources, or would like to stay in touch. A coach is often a professional mentor who will help an artist find clarity in their artistic journey through developing technical skills, business strategy, and a healthy mindset.

You can also explore digital courses to find excellent coaches. Then you can take these classes on your own time and don’t have to worry about location or timing. Udemy, Kajabi, and Teachable host excellent courses. You can also search for free resources on YouTube and support those coaches and creators through subscriptions or Patreon programs.
