Welcome to the Mindset

This website is currently being developed in preparation for our full launch in October. Browse around, and we look forward to working with you.

Join free — 24 hours of full access. Create an account and everything Mindset+ includes — every video and podcast, plus the Community — is open to you for 24 hours from the moment you sign up. Join on or before October 15, 2026 and you keep the Community for life after that. Otherwise you move to the Free tier, and Mindset+ ($5/month) keeps full access going. Premium and Pro open in 2027. Get in touch with Brendan Anthony with any questions or to set up your discounted first mentorship session.

For musicians, everywhere

Empower your music. Transform your mind.

A global creative community for every musician — pop, electronic, hip-hop, jazz, classical, folk, and everything in between. Performers, songwriters, producers, composers — all welcome. University-level knowledge, real-world craft, and the mentorship to back it up.

Dr Brendan Anthony

A creative ecosystem for every musician

The Music Making Mindset isn't a course platform or a passive library — it's a living creative ecosystem. You learn from Dr Brendan Anthony — 35 years of real-world experience, a Doctorate in Music Education, and credits with Hans Zimmer, INXS, Jimmy Barnes and Wheatus — alongside a group of experienced musicians, mentors, and podcast hosts who bring their own expertise to the table. You connect with musicians worldwide. You get honest feedback, real mentorship, and the kind of guidance that actually moves your craft forward.

High-quality music education should be accessible to everyone — not just those who can attend university.

Learn the craft, live the culture

Not Just Watching. Actually Learning.

Every podcast, video, and session inside the Mindset is built around one question: how can you do this too? We don't just show you what great music-making looks like — we pull it apart, talk through it, and show you exactly how to develop these skills yourself. Real producers in real sessions. Real performers breaking down real processes. Real conversations about what it actually takes to level up — in production, songwriting, performance, and beyond. This isn't content about music. It's mentorship through music. And it's built for anyone who wants to grow.

A living, international creative network

The Mindset community is where musicians stop scrolling and start connecting. Post your music and get real feedback from people who actually understand what you're making. Find your next collaborator — a producer, a vocalist, a drummer on the other side of the planet. Advertise your services, scout for band members, share new releases, or jump into a conversation about something you're working through. This is a living, active message board built for real musicians doing real things — not a dusty comment section nobody checks. Available from Mindset+ onwards. Your tribe is here. Your next project might be too.

How it works

One simple path, with no surprises and no card needed to start.

1 · Create a free account

You'll need an account to watch or listen to anything, free content included. It takes a minute.

2 · 24 hours of full access

Everything Mindset+ includes is open to you for 24 hours from the moment you sign up: every video and podcast, plus the Community. Everyone gets their own 24 hours.

3 · Then the Free tier

You're never cut off. You keep the free library: hand-picked podcast episodes and all the shorts. Short courses are still open to buy, and you can book a 1:1 session any time.

4 · Mindset+ — $5/month

Keep full access: the full podcast archive, core video library, monthly content drops, the Community board and 20% off short courses. Cancel anytime.

Join on or before October 15, 2026 and you keep the Community for life after your 24 hours — it's part of the same early-member welcome, so nothing extra to sign up for.

Coming in 2027: the Premium and Pro tiers open in 2027. They're not available to join yet, but you can join the waitlist below.
