Not Really HERE on the beach...
A bit lower down the page.
The lovely beach in Mexico is where my wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary – which is why I wrote “20 Rules For Music Success.”
Yes, it should have been 25 Rules, for 25 years… but we’ll just say I owe you five.
Point is, you can have a successful music career AND a happy, healthy life. My wife and 3 daughters are my inspiration and joy. They inspire me and that makes a better, healthier musician.
Sometimes, our blog may include topics of personal interest such as finance, relationships and health for artists. Why? Because we’re interested in the whole person – not just the musical parts.
Better person AND better musician. That’s the goal.
I’ve been hired by individuals, big & small companies to do everything from compose for videos and jingles, lead educational workshops, write a popular songwriting blog, and build a #1 Google-rated online vibraphone recording service. Sometimes I even help musicians record their projects, develop career strategies, and still find time to teach the occasional drum-set lesson, conduct a church orchestra and play with a fantastic Beatles-tribute band.
How Do You Get It All Done?
Prioritize
You can’t do everything. To become exceptional at what you do comes with a price. Your time.
Personal Awareness
What makes you tick? When is your peak performance and why?
Smart Goals
Passion is essential, but it won’t overcome mismatched goals. Are you on the right track?
Musicianship
The 21st century musician must deliver excellence. Do you know what’s expected of you and how to prepare it?
Creative Flow
Are you not only able to play the “right” notes… but find the ones that bring the magic?
Career Strategy
Are you building your career… or someone else’s?
It’s Time for You to Take Control.
If You don’t Make Your Music Career a Priority…
