BurnettMusic.BIZ
We are a sole proprietorship business located in the State of Kansas and we are both military veterans of Army Music. Our online portal gives access to all of our websites, digital properties, and platforms.
The primary focus of our for-profit business BurnettMusic.BIZ is centered in three areas of the music industry:
MUSIC EDUCATION
(1) Music Education – We began our private music teaching practice in 1983 during our off-duty hours while still on active duty military serving with Army bands. It’s proven to be a great opportunity for engaging in community service using our professional skills as musicians and teaching artists. And it’s also proven to be a tangible opportunity to positively impact the lives of young people wherever we are in the world. An active member of the National Association for Music Education, all of our students have benefited from these studies as validated over several decades and many are now successful musicians or teachers themselves. Portfolio details are available at The Burnett School of Music 🔗 website.
MUSIC PERFORMANCE
(2) Music Performance – Our performing artist activities are centered around Christopher Burnett Ensembles and Clinics. This activity includes community concerts, master classes, music clinics, and serving Music Education Associations around the country as an adjudicator and subject matter expert. Endorsed by the Conn-Selmer Inc. and Henri Selmer (Paris) companies we’ve performed tens of thousands of activities over decades. Portfolio samples are 🔗 here.
MUSIC PUBLISHING
and (3) Music Publishing – As a Broadcast Music Inc (BMI) Composer our publishing activities include a significant commercial audio recording discography, our published print sheet music catalog of select works from our BMI catalog, and an ever-expanding catalog of music lesson plans and music subject matter expert clinics. Portfolio samples are found at 🔗 BurnettPublishing.com
