Coding Solutions for the Music Industry

The classical music industry provides ample opportunity to organize data and connect people. Musicians preparing for an audition would benefit from a centralized collection of data from past auditions. Teachers need a way to connect with their student base remotely. Tracking service data is crucial for the longevity of an orchestra’s members. I aim to create efficient and intuitive tools to fill these needs and create a more connected community.
