It's been really gratifying to see our audience grow, especially in the past year. Last month we broke our traffic ...
The Talent Myth
Robert recently asked a very insightful question in the forum. Essentially, he wonders what effect talent has on getting work as a musician in the real world.

I held a variety of “regular" jobs before joining the Army Band. Everything from selling flowers on the corner to being the errand boy for an animation company. Some I liked (movie theater) some I didn't (food service). But they all had one thing in common: I never advanced. I spent an entire summer slaving away ...

Part 2: Resume Building
I wanted to play keyboards on Broadway, but I didn't know where to start. I did know, at least, that moving straight to New York with a liberal arts degree and 10 years experience in community theatre was a bad idea. I knew the first thing I needed to do was gain more experience and build ...
