The School of Deep Cuts Reviews 37

Nobody works harder to help Artists than Amber. Video #1 ALONE changed the entire way I think about creating singles/albums. Every lesson is packed with insights you won’t find anywhere else, you will start seeing the music world differently, the impossible becomes possible. Once you’re ready she invites you into her massive community of other emerging artists. All the while she does Weekly conference calls with industry heavy hitters and asks them the right questions. (Stuff you wish you’d asked but didn’t know you didn’t know!) Every situation she’s in she represents her community. She has restored my faith in marketing and gives me hope that people want to support Artists. Worth. every. penny.

Incredibly helpful and current practical advice and guidance from an expert. Great mix of content, live sessions and online support and discussion with other members. Hard to find this level of cutting edge advice for artists or managers anywhere else. Highly recommended - actually I've recommended 4 of my friends to join up already. Thanks Amber!

This course was so useful. Apart from incredible insights, tools and resources, being part of a community of fellow independent artists all supporting each other and sharing knowledge has been absolutely invaluable. Get on board!

One of the best things about signing up for School of Deep Cuts is that you have access to Amber & her team any time you get stuck with something. You will also become a lifetime member of School of Deep Cuts. The best thing is the camaraderie of the other members of the School of Deep Cuts and their willingness to pass along information that they have learnt along the way and support other artists going through the same thing. Totally worth it!

Amber is a brilliant kind woman who has so much knowledge and experience from working in the music industry. She's creative and knows how things work, but also thinks outside the box. There are other people out there offering helpful information & services. However, none of them come close to the wit, wisdom, credentials, & sincerity of Amber.

I adored this!

The way it was delivered made things that felt so overwhelming and so impossible so actionable and easy.

I will revisit these content every time I work on a project - when there is so much in you mind when starting out on project like a release having this plan is a game changer

School of Deep Cuts for me is a perfect way of following passion with a time sensitive lifestyle. I’ve only been able to do a few sessions and go over the workbook a little but just from that I’ve been able to expand my knowledge and growth which has been invaluable in all aspects of music business. Being both a creative and a manager, I’ve been able to apply everything taught to me in different contexts. On top of that I’ve been able to make contacts and hear from people in high industry roles to help gain an understanding on different sections of the industry.

Amber's course is by far, the most accessible and comprehensive resource I've found online for independent artists and emerging managers looking to market smarter, not harder. Working through the coursework, I've absolutely caught the strategy bug! Only challenge for me has been making the time zones work for live lectures. I think it would also be awesome to get more personalised check-ins, which would make it easier to apply the case studies to students' niches.

At first glance The School of Deep Cuts can seem overwhelming. The sheer volume of information Amber gives is both immense and intense. But by using her carefully planned lessons and instruction, Amber guides you step by step through the process so you are able to formulate a plan that fits you and your brand. The Fanbase Accelerator class I recently finished was revelatory. The brand building exercises helped me identify my brands strengths and weaknesses and showed where I needed to focus, and what to push. Amber provides so many great tools, I have yet to explore them all... but I will. And that's the great thing about the class - It's a process. She gives you timelines and breakdowns so you are not rudderless - Follow her guides and they will lead you to where you want to go. But it is still up to each person's devotion to the tasks at hand. If you stick to it, put the effort in, the process will work. Personally, I'm very grateful to Amber and her team for The School of Deep Cuts. In this new world of independent music marketing, I'd be lost without it.

Deep Cuts is the real deal.
Expertise insight, information, training and community!
Can't find this anywhere else

The sense of community I gained through this course was so valuable. You come away feeling not only less alone in this indie music endeavor - with a community to ask whenever you have a question - but also with real new friends/supporters/and potential new collaborators. On top of that, Amber is a lovely (and obviously super savvy) human, and her bimonthly guest speaker series provides fantastic ongoing value beyond the course.

My band and I made the decision to join Amber's School of Deep Cuts after joining a workshop she led as part of Spotify's Co.Lab sessions. We were blown away by her during the workshop so it wasn't a hard sell. Every single penny we spent on this course was worth it. Amber not only is an absolute EXPERT, she genuinely cares about empowering artists and budding music industry professionals. The knowledge gained from this course would take years to acquire on ones own, and has allowed us more freedom to explore other areas of our music journey. In addition to the most thorough & useful course material I think we have ever consumed, the SODC community has been a massive resource and support network, full of amazing and genuine creatives. Don't hesitate to buy this course if you are ready to elevate!!!

The school of deep cuts community alone is worth the tuition for the course, but the info and guidance of the course is also super valuable... It's given this solo musician the pathway to her dreams. Highly recommend Amber and all of her services

Amber gives you tools, resources, and strategies to implement yourself. She doesn’t sell promises of overnight success like so many other in the same space do. Instead, she promotes practical and effective methods to grow your fan base as an artist. She brings real-world experience from her years at record labels, but she also stays immersed in the current landscape and clearly is hungry to keep learning and spread that knowledge to her students so they have the best chances as upcoming artists. Amber supports community among creatives and has been an amazing person to have in my sphere over the last year as I’ve released new music. I’m not rich and famous (yet hehe) but my rollouts have more structure and the knowledge she has shared makes me feel a little more confident about a career choice that can be overwhelming sometimes. Take her classes!!!

Amber has built an honest, supportive and meaningful community to discuss the ever-changing landscape of the music industry. I’m grateful to have been a part of it!

This program has provided me with such a valuable collection of resources and experienced professionals and rookies alike. Amber's knowledge (which is extremely plentiful) is only one unique and invaluable facet of this collective. Being part of a supportive group of musicians and music industry professionals has allowed me to further both my professional and personal goals with confidence, effectiveness, and high-level strategy. Thank you Amber!!!!

This is the REAL SCHOOL. Amber is a superstar. SDC is the stuff of legend. An incredibly vast, thorough step-by-step guide on how to release your music, how to connect with fans, create your brand/identity, and so much more. These are the tangible benefits that one can see from the outset. The intangible value, however, comes from the incredible support of the SDC community. Together with Amber's approachability and being so hands on, you have the hive-mind to test out ideas before releasing them. Great guest lecturers and neatly organized spreadsheets with all the info you could need.
