Your presentation of the complicated business of music is the
most thorough and comprehensive I have ever seen.
-- John Hartman,
Professor at Loyola and former manager of Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Jackson Browne, The Eagles
As a lifelong corporate music whore, I can honestly say that
most insiders lack the comprehensive overview of the business that the
Confessions Workshop offers.
-- John Brodey, Former Sr. Vice President,
Geffen Records/Universal
The Confessions Workshop is the most well thought out,
articulate, and comprehensive workshop ever conceived. Every artist, producer,
programmer, arranger, musician, engineer and songwriter needs to attend!
Absolutely the best.
-- Rob Chiarelli, Producer/mixer of, Will Smith, Aaliyah, Christina Aguilera, Heavy D, Hilary Duff and Ray Charles
You know a
workshop has been effective when you realize it has changed the way you
perceive the world around you. Thanks to Moses I can see more clearly.
-- Aruna, Singer/songwriter
for Hilary Duff
I was never quite able to decode the terms and cash flow
of a record deal till I did the Confessions Workshop.
-- Geza X, Producer, Meredith
Brooks, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag
Confessions puts you inside the reality of making a living in a
business that has very few loyalties and no guarantees.
-- Steve Addabo producer: Shawn Colvin, Suzanne Vega
Very informative and Moses has a great way of communicating
that really brings the points home. He's a great instructor who
really knows his stuff.
-- Tammy Byler,
songwriter, Nashville
I've worked with Aerosmith, Jesus Jones and Bobby Brown. [Avalon's] book is the only one that I made
a class I taught at Northeastern
University buy!
-- John Luongo, Producer/engineer, NYC
Not one single music business workshop in the last ten
years comes to a close second.
-- Dave Paton, Booking Agent: Van Halen , Tom Petty, Twisted Sister, Crabby

Avalon destroyed any other lawyer's version [of the music
business].
-- Courtney Love, Recording
Artist
The knowledge gleaned from two days in this well-crafted
learning environment is invaluable - far more than one might get in a two-year
degree program focused on the music business.
-- Gabrielle
Hewson, Journalist, MusicDish
I thought I knew the basics of the business, but Moses'
workshop had me scratching my head. Now I really know how things work.
-- Chandler Bridges, mixer, engineer: Jennifer Lopez, Aaliyah, Julio Iglesias, Hilary Duff, Snoop Dogg.
Avalon explains the record business in plain English. I'd
recommend this to artists, producers or managers who need to understand music
business principles at work.

Jackson

As a music lawyer for over 20 years, I am impressed and
amazed at the way Moses dissects overly complex, deliberately confusing
recording contracts.
-- Cheryl L. Hodgson, Attorney
for the Kingsmen, Los Angeles,
CA
The Confessions Workshop is extremely valuable for the lawyer
who needs to realize that the royalty rate may be the least important provision
in the agreement.
-- Philip K. Lyon
lawyer for Kenny
Rogers, David Allan Coe, The Nashville
Songwriters Association
An extraordinary workshop debunking many modern myths.
Unlike dozens of other music business seminars, this is neither general fluff
nor antiquated strategy. It is refreshing to hear an insider step away
from P2P griping and major label bashing to explore the real issue of the
industry: the power struggle between copyright holders and technology
companies.
-- Benton Moore, Esq. Entertainment Attorney and President,
San Diego Music Foundation
A thorough and comprehendible introduction to the
complexities of recording agreements and cash flows in the music
industry. Moses breaks it down and gives you the navigation tools.
Moses is an engaging and entertaining speaker.
-- Sally Koenig, Koenig Law Offices, Los Angeles
