EMA Coaching Sessions

From musicians for musicians

What are the EMA coaching sessions?

EMA coaching sessions are musician-to-musician learning experiences offered within the Erasmus Music Association. We want to connect you with fellow musicians who are happy to share their knowledge. The sessions are casual, friendly and community-based. No pressure, just learning and growing together!

 

What can you learn?

We aim to offer coaching in (if we find suitable coaches):

  • Stage presence
  • Electric guitar
  • Acoustic guitar
  • Piano
  • Singing & harmonsing
  • Bass
  • Music theory
  • Songwriting
  • Drums 

 

How will the EMA coaching sessions be structured?

  • You choose 1:1 sessions, group sessions, or both in our sign-up form.
  • The EMA coaching committee will connect the learner and the EMA-coach. You can decide the time and place yourselves, but the EMA coaching committee is always available to help with that if needed!
  • Coaching sessions will be free for EMA members and non-members will pay €5 per coaching session. 

EMA-coaches

Who can become an EMA-coach:

Anyone can apply! You don’t need a degree or professional career, you just need:

  • Solid experience in your musical field
  • Willingness to guide others
  • A positive and supportive attitude

We will hold short interviews to check both musical experience and coaching ability and of course answer all your questions. After that, we will let you know if you’re selected to become a part of the EMA-coaches!

Rules for EMA-coaches:

  • Give constructive, positive feedback
  • Be open, kind and respectful
  • Be on time and prepared
  • Communicate clearly with your learner
  • Create a safe learning environment 
  • Voluntary role → you decide when and how much you’re willing to coach
  • If you must cancel, let the learner know at least 1 day before
