Ask Trill. One specific question. Answered.

The DMs are backed up. So we built the fastest way to get a real answer from someone who's actually done the work — a 45-minute one-on-one with Trill, on the calendar this week.

Ask Trill · 45-Minute Session
Ask Trill
For MDs, playback engineers, church music directors, session musicians, and programmers who need a straight answer from someone who's actually done the work.
$97
45-minute 1:1 on Google Meet · paid up front
  • Bring one specific question — MD work, playback, pricing, a rig build, a deal, a session, a career move
  • We work through it live · 45 minutes, on the calendar this week
  • Recording sent after the call so you don't have to take notes
  • Optional written summary within 48 hours
  • If the question is bigger than 45 minutes, Trill tells you — and points you to the right offer

The rule · one specific question

General questions I can't answer well in this format. Specific ones I can.

Examples from recent sessions:

  • How to price a first MD gig on a mid-tier tour
  • What a redundant playback rig should look like at $50K/night production spend
  • Whether to accept an offer that pays less but positions better
  • How to structure the first hire on your MD team

Direct booking coming this week. For now, email hello@thewalkergroup.studio and Trill will send you a slot within 24 hours.
