		<description><![CDATA[The music industry is changing, and quick. Artists and musicians take on more and more of the roles and responsibilities traditionally held by record labels and managers. If via various internet platforms, artists can skip the intermediate steps and connect straight with their fans, what&#8217;s the point of shelling out money (or a portion of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It doesn&#8217;t take long playing music to have heard it all– the A&#038;R people coming to the next gig, the big national tour, the record deal right over the horizon. The fact is, sometimes those things happen and (often) they don&#8217;t. Name-dropping, telling people about opportunities that haven&#8217;t yet materialized, or about all of the [...]]]></description>

Taking your ideas and your skills from the bedroom and releasing them out into the world to be judged can be intimidating, but the rewards are invaluable. Reminding yourself of this fact can help inspire you to push yourself to the next level and can [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s easy to get nervous when your music (and money) are on the line, but if you surround yourself with musicians who are supportive and experienced, they can take the pressure off and give you a team to fall back on. People typically work best in a guided but creative environment. Don&#8217;t worry about &#8220;letting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As an artist, you are not expected to be an expert at every instrument– that&#8217;s why you have a band! So if you&#8217;re unsure how to make the drums sound the way you want, have no fear– you hired the drummer because he or she is an expert at drums and is experienced at writing [...]]]></description>

Once you have those goals are set, scheduling the right number of rehearsals in the right proximity to a gig will ensure that everyone is fresh and prepared.

		<description><![CDATA[This is an important question to ask, because effective charts can cut down rehearsal time, but ineffective charts can do the opposite. In a typical rock/pop/singer-songwriter context, professional musicians will be accustomed to transcribing songs from a track or demo and making their own charts, notating exactly what they need to know, which varies from [...]]]></description>

You may like the drummer&#8217;s playing from such-and-such band, but before committing to have them on a gig, make sure that their professionalism lives up to their chops. Someone who seems very invested in your music may or [...]]]></description>
