No one reads a blog unless:
a. Your reader is family and feels obligated/only know what's happening in your life by reading
b. You have something to offer
This blog was created in the summer of 2007 as a way to track an overseas trip playing drums in warzones. Since that time, it served as a random update of musical and personal events. The new focus will be to give you ideas and resources for your business- your business of making music a career.
In the Fall of 2010, the Adams State College Music Department officially launches a new emphasis for music students- the Music Business Emphasis. How many musicians do you know who are qualified performers and/or educators, but struggle to make ends meet? This first step will provide a foundation to succeed in the music business.
What will the blog provide? The anecdotal information gleaned through personal experience and continued research will be beneficial for those trying to answer the question, how do I get started/what do I do after college? An incredibly important question which is, unfortunately, often avoided by academics.
To begin, check out these blogs:
The Savvy Musician
Seth's Blog
These two blogs will give you more than enough "food for thought." Bookmark and enjoy.
The information is out there.
