52 Cues Mastermind Group

Student raves about the 52 Cues Mastermind

Mastermind Alumni share real talk about the Production Music Mastermind.

  • "If you’re someone such as myself with decades of experience in the music business, but are new to the process of creating syncable production cues, this is the place to be. You can waste countless hours on forums, You Tube, etc. or, you can simply go directly to “the horse’s mouth” and get direct, honest feedback and insights from an industry professional. The icing on the cake is Dave and Shannon are nice people and there’s never enough of those in this business."

    The Unfinished

  • “The Mastermind is the best thing I have done for my music career! I now have the confidence and skills I need to get myself to that next level. The weekly meetings kept me accountable to my goals and motivated me to continue improving on, and writing new cues. Receiving feedback on cues each week, and listening to other group members' cues who are all on different paths was invaluable and I learnt so much from this alone. The value you will get from this Mastermind far outweighs the price you pay and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to take the next step in their production music career, no matter what stage you are at.”

    Winter 2024 Feedback Survey

  • "The Mastermind was an amazing experience. I really enjoyed getting to know Dave and my classmates through casual and supportive conversations. I received excellent feedback on my cues, and got all my questions answered. I also benefitted from hearing answers to my classmates' questions. I think this class could be helpful to both beginners and experienced producers looking to hone their craft. I highly recommend it."

    Winter 2024 Survey Feedback

  • It's wonderful to be a part of the group, participate in the weekly activities with Dave and the community members, and then be able to take a private lesson when you want to focus on your skills and get constructive feedback. Being able to interact with Dave is gold. With other similar services, there is no opportunity for face to face. This really sets 52 Cues above the crowd.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Though the best way to take advantage of the Mastermind is to participate in person, we will always provide a replay for you to watch (or re-watch) at a later time. You should plan to be at each meeting, but if you have to miss one, we’ve got you covered.

  • We’d love to see you in the Mastermind…when the time is right. Your best fit will be in the 52 Cues Community as a Neighbor, Friend, or Family subscriber.

  • Nope - Music reading is not required! We do talk about musical concepts, but everything we do is in the DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). You will fit in perfectly!

  • OK, first: we are neither lawyers nor tax experts! Please check with your accountant, lawyer, or tax adviser.

    Having said that, if you are a freelance composer or self-employed, educational expenses that improve the skills needed in your present work are usually tax-deductible.

    We know even less about international tax laws, so if you don’t live in the U.S., please consult an advisor in your country.
