Music Business Tip: Producers, do you really need a manager? Things every artist, band and producer should know and consider before hiring one The most common misconception is that if you have a music manager life will be easier and you'll make more money. Sometimes it works out that way and other times it doesn't. One thing you have to remember is that a manager has to make money as well.  Some of you are thinking, "that's fine, make it happen", but understand that in order for a manager to be paid, they must take a percentage of what you're making per project. This means the manager is going to have one of two things 1. Take a % from what you're charging your current clients. This could be bad because if you don't make a lot, then the manager isn't making enough and what was good pay for you is now reduced Thing about it like this.

David Benoit uses his original song, Kei's Song, as an example.  Scott and David just want to help you to teach yourself piano skills to get you having some fun at a piano as quickly as possible.  In the video David shares some great tips for  composing songs. He shares that typically, he starts composing a new song with his chord selection. Then often he moves to creating the bridge of the song which was the case when he was composing “Kei.” There is a lot of trial and error involved. When asked where Benoit gets his inspiration from, he confided that composing for him is a balance between piano seat time and time away from the piano.

The Women Composer YouTube Database is a project designed to make the works of prominent women in music known to a broader base by creating long playlists of works by select female composers and songwritings in classical music, electronica, and film. This is a project begun by award-winning composer Sabrina Pena Young. The hope is that as more and more of these Youtube Playlists of women composers are made available, the playlists will be shared and other musicians will take the time to create more female composer playlists. This project was begun in August 2017. The goal is to eventually have 100 + separate playlists highlighting the works of 100+ female composers. If you are interested in having a playlist made of your work or a prominent female composer as part of this project, please contact Sabrina Pena Young directly through her facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/newmusiccomposer/ I hope you enjoy these works. @dalatindiva --- Jennifer Higdon J...

The Competition originated from the need to experience art, felt both by creators and the public. The regulations of the competition clearly state that Professor Krzysztof Penderecki is the person who is responsible to decide which of the composers has created a work deserving special recognition.
