My Musical Journey

Man... I know how you feel. But, that goal can be reached, I know it can. Most new and well-known music artists do what you're doing now, using the internet to their advantage. The internet is a way to... get noticed by very important people. It'll take a while for this process to get a nice kickstart but it may also speed up the process if you know how to use music software like FL Studio. When you have the demo music to back up the voice and lyrics, you have a better shot at the song getting noticed. Anyway, I wish the best of luck. Rather if its music, drawing, sculpting, or photography, we artists need to stick together when it comes to getting a better future.

That sounds wonderful. You are on an excellent journey. With your determination and devotion, I am sure you will make good progress and reach your goal. All the best wishes to you. NYU would be an excellent place to persue your studies, and you will also very much enjoy the music environment of the City.

i love music too but i have no talent to play any instrument. I know the basic cords for guitar and keyboards and simple patterns for drums. I never got over the basics though you should pursue your dream... do it while you are young. the older you get... reaching your dreams seems to get further away from you.

If you've got the talent then go for it. YOu're still young and you can try and achieve those dreams. They said that being successful one should prepare himself for disappointments. Disappointments should never hold you back or stop you from anything but it should rather serve as a motivation to make yourself stronger. Try and do the things that you think can enhance your talent. Go to places where you think you can be noticed easily. Some people upload videos on youtube to be noticed. Nowadays technology can get you a long way with your dreams and you can start from there. Good luck!

Music is an dynamic industry.Persevere with your currnet skils. Musical instruments are always touch are at this time is weapon. You will be the winner. Because you have start. Starting for sucsess. One thing you must remember. If the heart and minds clean, would feel comfortable anywhere. Futhermore, you can develop your career more leverage.

I would suggest as you want to do, get a degree associated with the music industry. Especially since you want to be a music producer. If you try without knowing a lot of the technology involved you may not be taken seriously regardless if you can sing well or write good lyrics. 50% of the battle with being successful is being noticed the other 50% is impressing them once you are. When you look at todays market industry there are a lot of key factors with being successful. But the most important one is a degree and experience. Companies tend to feel more safe and secure if you have a degree. To them it says you paid good money for official or approved training. Instead of you having self taught knowledge or "street" knowledge. Hope it helped some and good luck :p

Music is a broad path so you will have to put some definition around what it is you want to do. If your passion is instrumental, then what instrument? If you want to sing, then what kind of music? Do you dream more of composing, or performing for people? Maybe you would like to learn music so you can teach others. Many have taken an instrument like the guitar, learned it and eventually worked themselves into a band. Others really want to study music and they go to college for that purpose. Bear in mind, that if you want to continue to devote a lot of time to music, eventually, it will need to result in some type of income. Hope you get some good leads and opportunities.

I'll tell you a little story. In high school my boyfriend wanted to be a music composer. He didn't have that much experience with music other than playing the clarinet in marching band. He attended college to get a degree in music composition. He was outclassed in every way. Anyone attending the school had a very musical background (private lessons, a very extensive knowledge of classical and modern music, etc..) Most were bred to achieve this goal and had been working toward it all their life. My boyfriend loved the theory of music but had difficulty with the performance part of it. Many professors told him directly to quit and do self study for several years before coming back to the program if at all. He didn't give up and he persevered nearly failing many of the classes no matter how hard he studied. Overall it was a nightmare. When he finished the program he had been trying so long to achieve this goal and working so hard that he realized the interest in the goal had become minimal. He felt relief that he didn't have to do all this work anymore and he realized it had sucked the joy of music out of him. Even years later he still feels this way and hardly composes music anymore. He is still $20,000 in debt and works in food service. He would have been more in debt if he hadn't been working during school and if his parents didn't take on some of the loans. The point: Be really sure it is what you want to do it. If you do then start early and do as much studying about music and get lessons in an instrument pronto. It will be much harder when you are in school. I'm not sure what the school you want to attend requires but at the school my boyfriend attended he needed to pass a performance test for an instrument and musical background tests in order to even get in a program to be able to take more classes. Also be prepared to take work in fields other than your interest in order to pay back any loans you take out since you may not get work in that area right away if ever.
