Advice For Musicians

My advice for artists, songwriters and producers moving forward, first and foremost, is that you have to practice, you have to be great and you have to write incredible songs. Your music has to be wonderful, and that is the main thing you have to focus on. If you don I do that, your chances of success are extremely low.

The Internet is a highly efficient means of rewarding a quality experience, so if you ‘re not great, you ‘re probably not going to have a career as a musician.

The second thing is to have a business partner. It could be a business associate you work with who helps you manage your business, helps you figure out how you ’re going to make money, learns the new technologies and how to exploit them and helps get you in front of audiences and helps you promote yourself.

Berklee Music

Ten years ago we created an online school called Berkleemusic focusing on delivering online music education, via distance learning. Most of our online students are active in the music industry and are struggling to retool their skills and knowledge to take advantage of the changes affecting the way that music is produced, marketed and distributed.

The online courses and programs are all about creating music, writing it, recording it, mixing it, arranging it, editing it, mastering it, and using software and other technologies to help produce and distribute music. We have a lot of performers studying online, improving their skills, learning different instruments, learning both beginning level and advanced instrument techniques and different styles of music and how to perform.

We also offer songwriting courses, for people involved in writing or composing for film or television or video games. We also offer music theory, harmony, ect.
