There are many ways to use the internet for music marketing and the promotion of your music. Today I want to go over a couple of ways other then MySpace and Facebook to do this. The very first thing I would like to talk about is “keywords”.

These are words that people type into search engines. The reason a lot of internet marketing fails is because people do not know how to select keywords that will align buyers with a product. Keywords such as your group name itself can be one of the many phrases you will use in order for people to find you and your music to no you exist.

You have to look for certain terms such as “Hiphop Music In Houston”, this is what they call a long tail keyword, its very specific to what is being searched for and around that term is how people will find you. Now of course this is just an example of how this is done. You will have to do your own research in order to find what applies to you.

But using our example for this form of music marketing promotion, and you were a hip hop artist from Houston, this term is what they would be searching for online. This would be one of the key words you would use to build your online campaign. Another way to drive traffic to your site in order to sell music is article marketing and blogs.

People view blogs and articles as a reliable source of information coming first hand from the blog owner or article writer. Its a great way to get yourself backlinks to your site from other writers and a good way to share information and increase your page ranks. “Artist Data” is a free service that solves the challenge of updating by automatically updating artist websites, social network sites, Twitter, local press, concert data bases, official newsfeeds, and even tour books. Other music marketing promotion tacktics include “Internet Radio” there’s AOL, Imeem, Last FM, Pandora, and Yahoo to name a few, also if you go to Soundexchange” they collect royalties from the internet, cable, and satellite radio stations then pays those royalties to the performing artist.

Other ways could be doing world wide press releases on your group via “PR Web” only when you are absolutely ready for this. You must first have a user friendly website where people can go and purchase your music without any hassle in getting the music.

I would like to repeat this, Do Not Do This Until You Are Ready this will bring incredible amounts of traffic that you will not be ready for and you will lose valuable sales. I have seen this done myself! I set an artist up with this who was not ready and she loss over 50,000 sales no bull! So please be ready when using these techniques.

She was a unique case since she was already a Bollywood star, you will not be able to afford such a mistake, so please be ready. “Fan Bridge” and “Reverb Nation” can help artists communicate directly with fans and drive traffic to their sites and live shows. GarageBand.com is another great place to send traffic and set up a music webpage. They are extremely professional and also allows you to enter contests that can take your career through the roof, I had a group actually go on tour from this site, 10 cities in 10 days it was a great start for them at the time. Anyway these are just a few places you can get started with your music marketing promotion campaign, good luck and never give up.

1. Just Dance by Lady Gaga, this hit single captures perfectly the fun for prom. It is a must for the night’s playlist.

2. Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” – A mellow song that will surely captures the heart of every couple/partner. So, make sure you won’t step on your date’s foot.

3. Nobody of WonderGirls – who can miss this song, this is the talks of the town so I include it on the list.

So, its up to you to continue my list…

It’s one of the things which made it hard at times for him to keep track of his various works in progress as he was not the most organized of people and in fact had a male secretary to assist him in his various affairs.

He was known to frequently enjoy walks among the woods on the outskirts of Vienna and each summer would go away to the countryside where he would spend more time walking. He cherished nature and would carry a notebook and pencil with him on his excursions, jotting down melodic ideas and sketching vague musical structures. If you look at Beethoven’s writing it’s rather hard to decipher and difficult to read, especially in the informal sketches.

A lot of what at first glance may have seemed innocent doodling would eventually morph into majestic symphonies, concertos and sonatas. It seems that Beethoven’s mind would come up with the initial idea quite spontaneously but then require time to gestate before the rewriting would begin. He would rewrite over and over and over until it was perfect.

This process is in stark contrast to Mozart where the pieces were already perfectly finished in his head before he even put pen to paper, in effect he was simply writing out what he had already finished composing.

These facts do not make Beethoven any less or any more of a composer than Mozart – just that the process of how they composed was very different. In each case however, the results were equally as sublime.

Boss has a long tradition of providing effects processors for guitar and bass. From it’s instantly recognizable individual stomp boxes to fully fledged multi effect processors, Boss continues to improve upon the science of digital modelling and realism for digitally generated guitar sounds.

GT stands for ‘great tone’ and the distortion sounds do represent a big leap forward primarily due to how the pick attack and dynamics react against your playing, just as if you were playing through a real tube amp. Of course there is still a massive way to go before digital modelling could ever come close to a tube amp but nonetheless these effects processors are improving.

As you’d expect from Boss the range and quality of the effects in this unit are excellent and you pretty much get the entire range of Boss pedals. Almost all user reviews describe them as very transparent, powerful and crystal clear. The unit gives you a lot of possibilities in terms of how you mould your guitar sound and on the front end of the unit it’s tried to make it very simple and easy, even for complete novices, to achieve a good quality guitar tone across a wide range of genres.

On a personal note I didn’t like the Wah Wah sounds so much but having said that it’s always possible to use your own external wah pedal. The unit is build like a tank, looks great and seems very roadworthy. I would expect to see it being used a lot by local musicians gigging around town especially due to its portability and sound versatility.

For the bedroom musician practising at home it’s an ideal toy to play around with and some of the sounds you can achieve with the Boss GT-10 are huge! Go and try one out.

Have you ever wondered if music has any effect on intelligence? Some baby boomers may remember their parents telling them that Rock and Roll would lead to permanent brain damage. But, kidding aside, is it possible that music may have a positive impact on cognitive thinking?

Recently I learned about an experiment several scientists conducted in 1994 using three
groups of preschoolers…

The first group received private piano and keyboard lessons
The second group received private computer lessons
And the third group received no training at all
After four months, the children who received piano and keyboard lessons scored 34%
higher on abstract reasoning tests than the other pupils!

Amazing.

These studies show that music training does improve cognitive thinking. Somehow music helps the brain develop “synaptic connections” that are related to abstract thought.

Music has also been shown to benefit kids with learning disabilities. Not too long ago I saw a special on PBS about a young man with autism who was learning to play a musical instrument. After a short time his speech improved and he began interacting with people in a more positive manner.

Different types of music can produce different kinds of affects on the listener. Slow, soothing music, for instance, can lower a person’s heart rate and help them relax. Music with an upbeat tempo can provide an energy boost which can stimulate and motivate people to action. A friend of mine likes to listen to music while cleaning her house because it seems to make the time go by faster.

All this just goes to show that music is good for you!

It improves your intelligence
Relieves stress
Increases energy
Enhances mood
Develops coordination skills
Stimulates intuitive thinking
The list could go on I’m sure. But the important thing is to let music become part of your life experience. Listen to it. Enjoy it. Benefit from it. Dance a little. Why not be really adventurous and try some free guitar lessons? Afterall, it could be fun!

The “Play in Pitch” ear training method was developed by a string teacher for string teachers and students. “The hardest thing to get across to beginner students of stringed instruments is the concept of matching pitch,” says Mr. Patrick. “I would have my students match the pitch as I played a series of notes or a scale on my piano. This worked well during our lesson time but I wanted my students to get the benefit of matching their notes to true pitch while at home during their regular practice time so I developed this ear training method and have had great success with it. From beginner to advanced all my students benefit from the Play in Pitch program.”

With the violin, viola, and cello, the finger has to be in the exact spot on the fingerboard to produce true pitch. The “Play In Pitch” perfect pitch ear training method is intended to help you do just that … play in pitch. Fretted instruments like the guitar, mandolin, and bass guitar are easier to play in perfect pitch as long as the instrument is of good construction and the strings are tuned properly. The placing of a finger behind a fret will produce a true pitch. Fretless instruments like the violin, viola, and cello, demand more from the musician in producing true pitch and that is where the “Play in Pitch” ear training methods are a valuable tool in learning to play in pitch.

The piano is a popular instrument to learn and learning to play it is indeed a very rewarding experience. However, like any other instruments, you need to have the effort and passion to learn how to play it. If you want to teach yourself to play the piano, you have to prepare well and make sure that you will never give up until the end.

- Get a good instructional material to guide you through your learning. For sure, you can find a lot of resources anywhere on the web and tutorials on how to play piano but it is important to be consistent with your methods and your instructional materials. If you want to teach yourself to play the piano well, you have to stick with a systematic plan of learning the instrument. This way, you will not be jumping from lesson to lesson without any direction in mind. Find an instructional method that you feel comfortable witht – which depends also on the existing skills you have in terms of playing the piano.

- Learn one thing at a time. Of course, it may be tempting to put both your hands to work in practicing the piano but you can make your learning easier if you have only one hand to focus. Take your learning one step at a time. You can learn to play with your right hand first and then your left. You may want to focus first on your hands before trying on the foot pedals, which will be simpler to learn when you have mastered everything with your hands. Learning everything at one time may make your learning process a little difficult.

- Always make sure that you practice correctly and accurately. Regular and constant practice is an essential part of learning the piano and any other instrument, but another thing that you have to consider is to practice accurately as possible. It is important that while you teach yourself to play the piano, you are learning it correctly from the start. Bad playing habits can develop through practice too and you should avoid that. One tip to help you practice as accurately as possible is to learn one hand at a time and practicing in slower tempo.

- Do stretching exercises before and after your piano practice. This does not only help you relieve tension in your fingers and arms but it will also help you a lot in learning the correct way of pressing the piano keys. One of the most common mistakes in piano playing is reaching the keys with the fingers. I personally made this mistake in my learning stage especially when I am faced with a more complex piece. Understand that you have to use your arm to move your hand on the keys and stretching exercises will indeed help you make this a lot easier.

- Use the metronome. The metronome can be a very helpful device to help you teach yourself to play the piano well and improve your piano playing. You can set the metronome to a speed that is comfortable with your playing but also consider the feel of the music. It may be quite a challenge at first to coordinate with the clicks of the metronome but you can find it very helpful in the long run.
