6 Week Online Course with Mark Montgomery French
It takes a nation of millions to hold musical women back.

Melodies have no gender, but the machinations that deliver melodies are overwhelmingly male. Nevertheless, women have persisted in the creation, performance, production, delivery, and influence of music in all genres. My course will uncover the truths, introduce you to exciting tunes, and dive deep into the talent and tales of unfairly obscured women in music. Plus, there will be jokes.
