Testimonials

'I've known Richard for some years since his days at Warner/Chappell Music in London, and since then we've had a good professional association with ongoing cross-promotion of SongLink, M2D and other industry activities. We have both appeared as guest panelists on international seminars and on TV together. I know Richard also has a good reputation as a music industry tutor. I'm happy to wish him every success with these new courses'

'As an ex Sony Music Manager, I have worked in various capacities with Richard and his company over the years and can only describe his work as thoroughly professional. Richard has more knowledge and understanding of the music business in his little finger than most people I know in their whole body and his enthusiasm after all these years is still enormous. His experience and expertise at companies such as the BBC, IMN, Warner's and IMP is unequaled in Malta and I believe he has been vastly under-used in that territory and I hope these courses reverse this situation'

Mario Christiani - Managing Director - Music2deal.com (World's leading A&R Site)

'Richard is a very gifted teacher. His lectures are very fun and filled with enthusiasm and interesting anecdotes, full of useful information for those wanting to know more about the music industry. He is also very patient and will explain everything meticulously so that all his students fully understand what he's teaching. I learned SO much in a very short span of time. If you are serious about being a professional in the music business, I highly recommend that you take Richard's courses. He truly knows what he's doing. Over 25 years in the business says a lot! The bottom line is that the courses are great and that Richard is the perfect teacher to conduct them'

'Richard is a fountain of knowledge and he shares his insight with eloquence and careful thought. One of his greatest strengths is making information accessible as he truly cares about imparting an understanding in his students not just passing on information. Richard is well versed in all areas of the music industry and his professional prowess is impressive. What is rare is the desire to help others follow their dreams, and Richard has that in spades. The series of courses Richard has designed are innovative, in depth, comprehensive and inspirational – the perfect boost to enhance a career or a great platform upon which to start one!'

'The music industry can be a huge, overwhelming maze, & Richard is equipped with the latest map to get you through it, and the humour and charm to make the journey enjoyable. I've attended quite a few of his lectures and have had a couple of one-to-one sessions, and his concise advice and diplomatic quality control is invaluable and spot-on. He also has a hell of an ear for a good song! I would recommend his courses to anyone.'
