Careers in music

The Roles in Producing Music * Today's article was contributed by: Stephen Roshy and speaks about just a few careers involved in producing music. Of course the instrument manufacturers and designer, music teachers, writers in the music genre, public school programs, music camps, and magazines that teams of people publish... not to forget the people setting up sound on stage, lights for live gigs, and many other careers are not touched on here. Learning music as a youth may not lead to being the star on stage, but there are many lucrative and secure careers to consider in the realm of music. A music producer is someone who is responsible for the development, recording, engineering and overall management of music.

Using Your Demo CD Efficiently

Making  a Demo Work  * Today's article was written by Brian D Hensley and offers some excellent advice on how to use a demo CD most efficiently and effectively.  As a band or as a solo artist, eventually you have to start thinking about making a demo CD for A&R reps, producers, production companies, and record labels to help market, fund, and traffic your music. Getting someone in the music industry to take the time to listen to your demo is not an easy task. Most demos are tossed in the garbage before they are even opened and if they are listened to, even if you only put three songs on the CD, most people in the music industry won't even bother listening to the whole thing. Don't take it personally; it's the music industry. But if you do have something special and you are ready to put together a demo CD in the attempt to get the attention of the music industry, there are some things you need to know to be successful in this venture. First, you have to take some tim

Market Music Online

Market Music Online  *Today's article was written by Devin RamirezDo check out Devin's website as well, where he offers a lot more information, free beats to download and more:  http://angelicvibes.com/beat-store-2 First and for most, you must have quality music. Unless you want to be the next Slim Jesus or Rebecca Black, you should have quality music that is worth listening to. Not only should your music have good content, but it also needs to sound professional and catchy. Social Media is a great way to market and share your music! You can literally connect with thousands of people in seconds! You should at least sign up to three different social media sites. It might be hard to keep up with more than three, so I advise you to stick with three. If you think you can handle more, then please sign up to as many as you'd like! The more the better. Stay active, but do not to spam! That just annoys people and can seem like you're desperate for attention. Instead of spamming

Music Therapy, interview

 Music as Therapy “ The first thing that we realize when we choose to push play on recorded music is that we are actually matching our current state  …and when you do that you are making subconscious, instinctive about the music you listen to because it feels good, you become phase-locked to that music.   …So listen to the music that makes you feel sated, but once you’ve satiated that mood than you shift the music that will soothe you.  …At work you need to choose music to empower everyone and for health.  …Music therapy is able to promote wellness, manage stress, alleviate pain, express feelings, enhance memory, improve communication and promote physical rehabilitation.  ” ~ Judith Pinkerton Today’s quote originates from the  Conscious Discussions Talk Radio  episode titled:  Music for Therapy ~~  www.BrummetMedia.ca ~~

Youtube; music career

Using Youtube In Your Music Career *Written by Gabe Shillinger, who invites you to "check out his YouTube - http://youtube.com/thisisthelegion or http://legionbeats.com for beats, hooks, mixing and mastering." YouTube has been a HUGE promotion tool for millions of artists and if you're not taking advantage of it, you're definitely missing out. YouTube is the 3rd biggest website it in the world (behind Google and Facebook) and it has become arguably the #1 way to listen to, discover and share music. The idea of consumers "owning" music is fading and being replaced by streaming services like Spotify, Pandora and especially YouTube. Convenience and cost are huge part of that shift, but "shareability" is also a huge factor. When we used to consume music solely through terrestrial radio, TV and physical media like CDs, it was really hard to share that music. Now with the click of a button, you can share it with literally millions of people. What does
