“I’ve known Ben for many years now through different bands that I’ve played in. Ben’s background has been working with the great record companies and in various departments. For instance; promotion, A&R and publicity. He has a great love of music from both as a fan and from a commercial point of view. I would like to mention Ben’s particular ability to connect with any band on any level. He has a great rapport with every band he’s worked with. I wish him all the best with Continuous Music – it’s such a great idea”.
Ben Steer is one of the top Music Business Management educators in the world, with a huge career in the Australian Music industry and having worked in Music Business Education at the highest level. Ben’s development of Continuous Music has provided a short cut of information and tools for Music Industry hopefuls, rolling a career’s worth of knowledge and information into one place and allowing both the new and experienced to learn what they need to know to achieve their goals and be successful in the Music Industry.
“In 2015, at the ripe old age of 36, I made the decision to go back to school to further my education in the Entertainment Industry. Filled with many emotions – predominantly fear and self-doubt – I walked in to my very first lecture. I was fortunate enough to have Ben running that class and I was made to feel instantly at ease.
His incredibly warm, open and humorous persona was only superseded by his wealth of experience and knowledge of the Music Industry. His authentic passion for both the industry and education was infectious and I sincerely enjoyed every class I had with him. Ben made an extraordinary effort with me personally to make me feel supported at a time when I was feeling quite doubtful that emerging in to an industry at my age was a sound choice.
More recently I have graduated from that educational facility and have gone on to create my own successful business. It was having lecturers like Ben Steer that instilled in me not only the education and tools required to create my own dream job but more importantly the self-belief and how to think creatively.
Ben was truly the best teacher I have had. I couldn’t recommend him more.”
