Music Action Plan (MAPs)
Among the most crucial services is Q Music’s Music Action Plan (MAP), a personalised music career support service. Through the MAP program, Q Music works with you to develop a personally tailored plan for your career.
This is done by arranging for a highly-experienced music industry professional to peruse your personal details, meet with you to discuss them further, and put together a plan to develop your career with you.
At the conclusion of the MAP you have a list of short-term goals and actions which may include information on resources, contacts, support mechanisms and funding appropriate to you and your specific goals.
Any person of any age, background, musical preference or experience level can register to do a MAP. What’s more, there are a range of MAPs available for both individual and groups and you can chose from a “standard” or “advanced” MAP, depending on how detailed you would like your career plan to get.
Q Music members receive discounts on all MAP sessions.
