Exploring the Maestro Mind Dashboard
As a composer, I understand the challenges of staying organized, finding inspiration, and managing countless ideas! That’s why I created the Maestro Mind Dashboard—a simple, effective tool designed to help any composer streamline their workflow, explore new genres, and keep track of important projects and instruments.
This Notion template is all about using simple tools to achieve great results. With the Maestro Mind Dashboard, you’ll have a place to keep track of your most important tasks and feel encouraged to compose, practice, and grow. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to enhance your workflow, the Maestro Mind Dashboard has you covered.
Check out what’s inside
The PARA Method, developed by Tiago Forte, is an incredible system for organizing your life and work! PARA stands for Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archives. No more endless, confusing sub-folders—just a simple, effective way to manage your tasks and resources. With the Maestro Mind Dashboard, you can apply the PARA Method to your composing career, making it easier than ever to stay organized and productive!
Genre Exploration Challenges refresh every week, encouraging you to practice writing in different genres over an 8-week cycle. Inspired by my free Film Composer’s Recipe Book, these challenges help you take actionable steps to compose in styles like Action, Fantasy, Horror, and more. Every Monday, a new challenge appears, complete with tips and steps to guide your writing process, perfect for composers looking to diversify their portfolio and hone their skills in different genres!
The Instrument Hub is your go-to place for logging new instruments and sample libraries. Easily add new instruments with the click of a button, take notes, and embed links to articles, videos, or other documents. Connect each instrument with its associated sample library, and manage your Sample Library Wishlist. This feature is ideal for composers looking to expand beyond the typical orchestral lineup and keep their tools and resources organized.
The story behind the Dashboard
I created the Maestro Mind Dashboard because I know what it's like to feel overwhelmed by a lack of inspiration, chaotic organization, & uncertainty about where to even begin. We want to write music that resonates with people, but it feels like we're lacking experience or the best tools to achieve our goals!
This template is designed with you in mind, addressing these issues at the very core. It’s easy to get bogged down by endless options out there or believe that the next expensive sample library will somehow fix your music.
The truth is, organizing your existing tools and consistent practice will make the biggest difference. That’s why the PARA Method is integrated into this template—to help you focus on the projects, tasks, and areas of life that truly matter to you!
The Maestro Mind Dashboard gives you the space to practice writing in different genres and an easy way to track the instruments and libraries that inspire you. By keeping these areas of life simple, the Maestro Mind Dashboard helps you stay organized, inspired, and focused on creating great music.
This template is here to support you, providing the structure to grow and the inspiration to succeed in your composing journey!
