1. The Course
The Independent Artist Blueprint is an online, self-paced educational course designed to help independent music artists develop their music, artistry, audience, understanding of the music industry and music business.
The course is suitable for artists at different stages of development, from beginners and debut artists through to more experienced independent artists.
The course contains over 200 video lessons, with an approximate total video duration of 30 hours, together with supporting materials, resources and exercises.
The course is delivered online and is designed to be completed at your own pace. There is no requirement to complete the course within a particular timeframe.

Your enrolment is for one individual student only.
Your course access, login details and course materials are personal to you and must not be shared with another person.
You must not allow another person to use your account or access the course using your login details or course links.
If you wish to purchase access for another person, please contact The Artist Guides to discuss the appropriate arrangement.
3. Course access and lifetime access
The course is self-paced and can be started immediately after purchase.
Lifetime access means that you will have access to the course materials and videos for as long as the course remains active and available for sale by The Artist Guides.
During this period, you may revisit lessons, materials and topics whenever you wish.
The three private 1-to-1 tutorials included with the course are subject to a separate one-year validity period, as explained in Section 5.
4. Course content and intellectual property
All course content remains the intellectual property of Amour Music Ltd. trading as The Artist Guides, unless otherwise stated.
This includes, but is not limited to:
Video lessons
Audio and visual content
Written materials
Worksheets and exercises

Other materials provided as part of the course
The course and its materials are provided for your own personal educational use.
You must not copy, reproduce, record, distribute, publish, share, sell, sublicense, repurpose or otherwise make the course content or materials available to another person without our prior written permission.
You must not upload course materials to file-sharing services, social media, websites, AI systems, online repositories or other platforms for access by others.
You may use the knowledge, skills, ideas and learning you gain from the course in your own music, creative work and business activities.
5. Three private 1-to-1 tutorials
The course includes three private 45-minute online 1-to-1 tutorials with either James Brister or Sean McDermott.
Tutorials are delivered via Zoom (or similar online call hosting platform) during our normal office hours:
Monday to Friday, 9:00am–6:00pm UK time.
Tutorials are arranged by email at mutually agreed times.
We work with artists internationally. However, as we are based in the UK, you are responsible for ensuring that you are able to attend your tutorials during our normal UK office hours.
The three tutorials must be used within one year of the date of purchase. Any unused tutorials expire after this period and cannot normally be carried forward, exchanged for cash or transferred to another person.
If you need to reschedule a booked tutorial, you must provide at least 24 hours' notice.
If you provide less than 24 hours' notice, or fail to attend a scheduled tutorial without prior notice, that tutorial will be treated as having been used.
The tutorials are personal to the student who purchased the course and cannot be transferred or sold.
6. Feedback on your music
Where appropriate, you may receive feedback on your own music during your private 1-to-1 tutorials.
The purpose of this feedback is educational and developmental. Feedback is based on the music, information and circumstances presented to us and represents our professional opinion at that time.
We do not guarantee that any particular feedback, recommendation or course of action will result in a particular artistic, commercial or financial outcome.
7. Questions and email support
Students may contact The Artist Guides by email during their course for questions relating to the course content and their progress through the Blueprint.
We will make reasonable efforts to provide helpful responses and support students in completing the course.
Email support is intended to help you with questions relating to the course and your progress. It is not intended to provide unlimited one-to-one coaching or ongoing personal consultancy beyond the three private tutorials included with the course.
We will normally respond during our usual working hours, Monday to Friday, 9:00am–6:00pm UK time.
8. International students
The Independent Artist Blueprint is available internationally.
All course content and materials are delivered in English.
The Blueprint is designed for independent artists internationally and includes information intended to be useful to artists in different countries.
However, music industry practices, laws, regulations, copyright systems, collecting societies, tax requirements and other aspects of the music industry vary between countries.
Where appropriate, the course highlights areas where you may need to consider the rules, organisations or requirements applicable in your own country.
You are responsible for obtaining appropriate local professional or legal advice where necessary.
9. No guarantee of success
The Independent Artist Blueprint is an educational programme.
We do not guarantee that completing the course will result in a successful music career, increased streams, followers, income, bookings, record deals, publishing agreements, management representation, audience growth or any other particular outcome.
Every artist's circumstances, abilities, goals, resources and opportunities are different.
Our aim is to provide you with knowledge, guidance, frameworks and practical tools to help you develop your artistry, make better decisions and understand what you may need to do to move forward as an independent artist.
10. Course content and industry information
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that course information is accurate and useful at the time it is provided.
