“Wow, fantastic! - the right information presented clearly!”
— John Riley, Drummer, USA
“As a graduate of one of the premier jazz programs in the US, a business person with an advanced business degree and two decades of experience of corporate consulting, and an associate professor at an ivy-league university, I have been very underwhelmed with the level of business education in jazz programs. Majority of students graduating such programs can offer a high level of musical performance but lack business skills to take their music on tour. As a full-time touring musician who also regularly presents on the subjects of booking and PR for independent artists, I have been truly impressed with the content and execution of this course. There is a clear path and structure for someone who is less experienced in putting together their own tour - action steps, frameworks, useful assisting technologies, and sample tools - and also a lot of useful information and ideas for more experienced musicians, such as myself, including an impressive roster of notable guest speakers (from the areas of PR, festival booking, club booking). I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to take their band on the road! ”
— Svetlana Shmulyian, Musician & Educator, USA

Whether you’re a beginner, Freelance musician or band ready to hit the road, I highly recommend this course!”
— Randy Despommier, Saxophonist, USA
“This video series strikes the perfect balance between concrete real-world information, upbeat motivational thoughts, and light humor”
— Jesse Fischer, Pianist, Producer, USA
“Definitely recommend it! Next time iI’m planning a tour I’ll use Philippe’s course for sure. Absolutely worth the price.”
— Noah Kellman, Pianist, Composer, USA
“Philippe’s course is a must-have for DIY musicians. Booking your band can be overwhelming, but he manages to break it down into easy steps. By giving you small assignments during the course itself, following the course becomes actively booking yourself instantly. I would definitely recommend this to my students or add this to a school curriculum. ”
— Robert van der Padt, Booking agent, pianist, The Netherlands
“I’ve been a touring musician and bandleader for 16 years. Philippe’s program is not only spot on with the realities and nuances of booking a tour, I was surprised with how much I was still able to learn while taking his course despite my experience. I feel more confident and better equipped.”
— Andromeda Turre, Vocalist, USA
“Philippe’s course ‘How to book a tour’ has really helped me to step up my booking game. I’ve booked international tours for my group for over 10 years. So while I was familiar with many of the things he talked about, I feel I was stuck in 2010 and now upgraded to the latest OS. The tips on integrating add ons and software into the booking and mailing process are golden. Let’s face it, booking and office work is not the most exciting thing musicians like to do. But the enthusiasm and charisma with which Philippe shared his expertise makes it very easy to digest this information”
— Andreas Arnold, USA/Spain
“Philippe Lemm’s course on How to Book a Tour is extremely helpful for all musicians, especially those in the jazz community. There are some great insights offered that are sure to enlighten even the most experienced players. As the booking of performances continues to be a challenge, Philippe makes the overwhelming social expectations of a tour quite approachable and clear. So many talented players are still learning the social side of this business, and I hope that the easy explanation helps all who are struggling.”
— Matt Savage
“In my opinion, there are a lot of factors facing musicians right now which rest on pretty precarious foundations. I think it’s an excellent plan for any serious artist to be using this down time to sharpen the types of skills that Philippe explores in his detailed courses. A deep understanding of the music industry is a crucial part of any professional’s skill set. ”
— Jesse Bartlett-Webber, Drummer, Producer, USA
“Philippe Lemm has a very approachable step by step strategic way of teaching in this course. I recommend to check this out! ”
— Grace Kelly, Saxophonist, Vocalist, USA
“Highly recommended!!! The course is very relevant for today’s music business scene, and every detail is clear. At the same time, it is motivating to jump into the world of booking even if you’ve never done it before. Thank you Philippe!”
