Intro to the Music Industry
Fundamentals for entering into a music career.
Description
This course was designed to help up and coming musicians or struggling musicians see things through the eyes of the other people involved in the music industry. I myself have been playing live music for over 10 years, and I hit a lot of pitfalls and struggles along the way. There were many things I learned through my own failures, so I thought, "why not take all of my mistakes, and boil them down for others to learn from?" My aim is to help people understand where there may be challenges and shortcomings in the music industry and why certain aspects are important and often overlooked. Everything here seems really simple, straightforward and almost redundant at times, but you'd be surprised how many musicians I know that did not learn these things and continue to wonder why they aren't progressing. I sincerely hope this course will provide you with some insight as to why your music may not be getting the attention it deserves, or how to get it the attention it deserves through simple, tried and true methods that are often not spoken of or discussed within the industry. If you bought this course and you sincerely did not find any help from it, I will gladly take time from my schedule to try and help you figure out whatever it is that might be missing.
