A Bigger Mission Ahead.
Now, as Xpandr, we connect and support the next generation of music creators and industry professionals to build a sustainable future in music.
We started as The School of Music Business.
Our Mission
We connect music creators and industry professionals to learn, grow and be seen - breaking down barriers so the next chapter of music is fairer, louder and more open than ever.
We do this by providing practical and future-proofed learning pathways, expert mentorship, a thriving community, and industry partnerships that open doors - building future-ready skills, and turning ambition into clarity, confidence and momentum.

From The School of Music Business to Xpandr
For the past decade, we taught as The School of Music Business - helping thousands learn, many of whom are now thriving as independent artists or working across the industry in record labels, publishing, live and more.
We’ve evolved into Xpandr to reflect what we actually do: help you learn new skills, grow your network and expand what's possible for your future - and we’re just getting started.
