A Simple Way for Busy Music Teachers to Get Free Professional Recordings

As a music teacher, you pour your heart into creating meaningful experiences for your students. But with tight budgets and an overwhelming workload, giving your program everything it deserves can feel impossible. What if there were a way to provide free, professional recordings while raising funds—and without any extra stress?

The Problem

Being a music teacher means balancing a never-ending list of responsibilities. You’re not just a teacher; you’re a fundraiser, an event organizer, a mentor, and a leader. And while you’re juggling it all, there’s never quite enough time, money, or resources to do everything your students deserve.

And let’s face it: money is tight. Fundraising feels like another full-time job, and it’s frustrating that music programs—despite their immense value—often don’t get the recognition or resources they need to thrive. It’s overwhelming to constantly make hard choices about where limited funds go, knowing that some opportunities might slip through the cracks.

Your students work hard, and their performances are the culmination of countless hours of practice and dedication. But without professional recordings, those moments disappear as soon as the concert ends. Families miss out on a way to relive and share those memories, and students lose the chance to reflect on their growth.

The Solution

I’m Tim Lieber, and I’ve spent over ten years professionally recording music programs, preserving performances that showcase the talent and dedication of students and teachers alike.

Over time, I’ve seen one challenge repeatedly hold programs back: it’s money. Even though these recordings are a great teaching tool and an incredible way to preserve your students’ hard work, the money just isn’t there to make it happen.

Every music program I’ve ever talked to wants these recordings, but very few have the resources available to afford them.

That’s why I created the Lieber Media Sponsorship Program—a straightforward and effective solution to this challenge. This program connects music programs with local businesses that fully sponsor the cost of professional recordings. Not only does this remove the financial burden from your program, but the sponsorship funding will be more than the cost of the recording, so your program gets to keep the additional funds to use however you need.

You make money every time I record a concert.

It’s a win-win that benefits your students, your program, and your community.

I’ve made the process straightforward. You don’t have to worry about managing logistics or adding more to your already packed schedule. My goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to provide your students with the professional recordings they deserve while helping your program thrive.

Most fundraisers leave you and your students selling candy bars, distributing giant boxes of wrapping paper, or dealing with magazine subscriptions. The Lieber Media Sponsorship Program gives your music program something tangible in return—a professional recording that you can use to help your students. At the same time, it raises additional money for your program with far less effort on your part.

A fundraiser that actually makes sense for music programs!

How it works

I’ll work directly with your program’s supporters—like your band boosters or parent volunteers—to identify and connect with potential sponsors. You won’t need to spend hours making calls, coordinating logistics, or handling payments. That’s where I come in. I am your advocate, the person who steps up to the plate and does most of the heavy lifting to make sure everything runs smoothly.

From reaching out to local businesses to crafting sponsorship proposals that align with your goals, I’m here to ensure your program gets the support it deserves without adding more work to your already packed schedule.

You focus on your students—I’ll handle the rest. Together, we’ll make something extraordinary happen for your program.

The Lieber Media Sponsorship Program is currently in its early stages. This winter and spring, I’m partnering with a very limited number of music programs to refine the process, develop materials, and build a network of interested businesses.

Get involved now

The full program launches this June and will be available to all music programs. To secure your spot, join the waitlist on my website. By signing up, you’ll gain access to an exclusive live webinar on June 5th at 8:00 PM. During the webinar, I’ll walk you through how the program works, how I meet your program’s media production needs, and how we’ll tailor sponsorship opportunities to fit your goals.

In the meantime, the best thing you can do right now is follow me on social media. I’ll be asking businesses to write big checks to support your students, and a large, engaged social media presence will make that much easier. Share this program with your colleagues, too, and get them excited about the opportunity to bring these incredible recordings to their programs.
