Hey folks!

I just wanted to share a little message I got from someone I've never met, who decided to reach out to me today because of the positive impact something I created had on them that I released for free. When they sent me this message today and I read it, it made me melt 🥹🥹🥹

This is the exact reason that I created www.ProgrammingForMusicians.com. I was a professional musician for many years in New York City. I personally felt that financial struggle that came with gigs shutting down, projects ending, clubs closing, and the music industry becoming a poor career choice, unlike when I first started working in it (thanks, Apple Music, for the fixed $0.99 price of a song, and thanks, Spotify/Amazon Music/etc, for making all music basically free 🙄). I wanted all of my musician friends and colleagues to not struggle finding work as a musician like I was struggling. I wanted them and their families to not feel the pain of not knowing when or where their next check was coming from, as that is how the music industry (and greater gig economy) works: once the gig is over, you're unemployed until the next one!

I'm just sharing this screenshot to remind you that sometimes you don't need to put a price tag on everything you release into the world. Sometimes giving freely with no expectations can change someone's life in ways you never expected!

I have lots of free tutorials here: www.pfmcpp.com and three free MASSIVE video tutorials here: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=freecode+camp+JUCE

And if you're looking to invest in yourself and want to learn a skill that can pay all your bills, check out my mentored and written courses here: https://www.pfmcpp.com!

I hope you're having an awesome start to your summer (or winter if you're in the southern hemisphere)!

Stay blessed!

Charles
