The Independent Music is a non profit organization designed to help define paths, motivate ingenuity and focus resources within measurable levels, step by step. We provide direction, field tested guidance, consultations, education, resource information, How To's and other encouragements that "Indies" need to compete in their marketplace. The Independent Music Association stands for creating opportunity within what tools each of us has at hand, doing the best with what we have, within the conditions each of us lives. Using realism and long term approaches, the IMA evaluates "What you are currently doing?" & "How to get where you want to be?" We piece together and develop Action Plans based on your responses to help formulate personalized Indie solutions. We work with each member one day at a time, one member at a time. Results will be measurable and verifiable. We offer personalized, hands on attention to detail along the way. The Independent Music Association offers support for all genres, styles and types of music people. All music related services and business approaches to the music industry are encouraged to join in.
