A real human in your corner, a global community of creators, and the structure to actually finish what you start. This is Free The Music mentorship.
Practicing alone, songs unfinished, voice held back, no real feedback.
1:1 sessions, a community walking with you, a method that actually moves the needle.
Songs finished and recorded, voice freed, on stage, in community, in your power.
Not a course. Not a download. A complete creative ecosystem — with a mentor at the center of it.
The Free The Music Ministry is a global circle of soul-powered creators — songwriters, worship leaders, returning musicians, late starters — walking the same path together. Every week.
Every month our community walks through these four themes — one week at a time. Hover any pillar on the wheel to see what we explore that week.
Each pillar opens to show what we explore that week.
Every week the cycle moves forward. You join wherever you are, and the circle holds you.
Mentors who have walked the road, made the records, led the rooms, and choose to give what they've learned away.
Singer, song-leader, and voice teacher who lives at the intersection of musical craft and the inner life. Specialises in the spaces where technique and identity meet — and in the courage it takes to claim a voice you didn't know you had.
"There is no sound more healing than a roomful of voices remembering they belong to each other."
Producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist with a rare sensitivity for the pathway an artist needs to walk — from where they are now, to where their heart has been quietly calling them. His work is part craft, part listening, part naming what the soul has already been trying to say.
"God placed this calling in you for a reason. My work is to iron out the technicalities — so your soul can be set free through the music."
You have ideas but struggle to finish them — or you finish them and don't know if they're any good.
You're the one people gather around when there's a guitar in the room — whether that's worship, kids, the campfire, or the kitchen. Your voice, playing, and songwriting could grow with real feedback.
You played seriously once, life happened, and you're finding your way back to the thing that makes you feel alive.
You never thought you could be a musician, and something inside you is finally asking: what if I could?
You've been "almost ready" to record, share, or perform for years. You're done waiting on yourself.
Music is your prayer language. You want a community that sees that and can help you go deeper.
No bootcamps. No drinking-from-a-firehose. A relationship, a practice, a path.
Fill out a short application below. Tell us where you are, what you're working on, and what you want to grow into.
A free 30-minute call with Matteo or Katrina. No pressure, no sales — just a real chat about your music and whether we're a fit.
Together we build a practice rhythm that fits your life. Weekly or biweekly sessions, plus homework that actually moves the needle.
3-month minimum encouraged so the work has time to take root. After that the membership is month-to-month — stay as long as it's helping, leave with skills, songs, and confidence you didn't have before.
Testimonials incoming
We’re collecting stories from current mentees and will post them here soon. If you want a real conversation about whether FTM is for you in the meantime, the application form below opens that door directly.
Yes. The FTM Instrument Lessons start from "I've never held a guitar before" and walk you through five clear phases. Your mentor meets you where you are — if you've never written a song, we start with the first one. If you've written a hundred, we sharpen them. There's no entry test, just a willingness to do the work.
Every weekly themed call and Open Mic Lounge night is recorded and posted in the community space. You can engage live when life allows, watch replays when it doesn't, and post your own work + questions in the channels at any time. The community runs on grace, not on attendance.
Courses give you information. Mentorship gives you accountability, real-time feedback on your specific work, and a community walking the same path. Information is everywhere now — what's rare is someone watching what you are making and offering the next honest step.
Voice is the through-line for everyone. Beyond that we cover guitar, ukulele, and piano in depth, with songwriting, performance, and production layered on top. If you play another instrument, our songwriting and theory work still applies; just bring it to your sessions.
We strongly encourage a 3-month minimum — the work compounds, and three months is roughly when most mentees report the change becoming visible in their playing, voice, and confidence. After that, the membership is month-to-month with no contracts and no exit interrogation. Most of our mentees stay multiple seasons because the rhythm becomes part of their life — but the door is open both ways.
The donation-based structure means we have a sliding scale for those who need it. Tell us where you're at on your application and we'll work it out together. We don't want money to be the reason you don't get the support you need.
Fill out the short form below. We'll read it, then reach out to set up a free 30-minute intro call — no pressure, no sales — just a real chat about your music and whether we're the right fit.
