The five major music industry myths that affect your music career

Music career myth #1: If you are older than a certain age, you will not succeed.

Reality: Successful companies and bands don't care about age. There are a large number of professional musicians aged 30 and above in all aspects of the business. Your age only makes sense when you are important.

The music industry functions like any other business. As long as you have a strong work ethic, dedication and value, you can succeed at any age.

Learn what the music industry is looking for in the music industry and start to strengthen these skills [more on this later]. This is the reason for attracting people in the industry.

Music career myth #2: Fans no longer buy music.

Reality: These days fans actually buy music, but the old business model that sells it doesn't work. To sell music to your fans [making money], you must:

1. Understand how the industry works from

immediately from

 [not the way it worked decades ago].

2. Think creatively and jump out of the box. This will help you find new ways to sell music to your fans.

Musical Myth #3: Before you can build a career, you must be a great musician.

Reality: Being a good professional musician is more than just "excellent music skills". Many musicians in the music industry are not senior guitarists, singers, etc... and many talented musicians have never established a successful music career.

What you need to learn here: take care of your musical skills and other aspects of your music career.

Note: Becoming a professional musician does not require going to college. Going to college music can only help you build your own musical skills. This will not help you develop in the music business. Many people have a degree in music and have never made money on music.

In addition to going to college, you can find many other effective ways to become a better musician. A class with a senior guitar teacher will help you master the instrument faster.

educators. from

 They teach you the music industry but don't teach you how to develop a career in the music industry. For example, in a music business course, you can learn how to make a contract, how to promote travel, and how royalties work. This information is useful, but it doesn't help you:

get from

 Your own record contract.

You can accomplish these results by working with a music career instructor who has achieved great success.

Music career myth #4. You need to live in a "city of music" to be successful.

Music career myth #5. You need a good relationship to be successful.

Reality: from

connection from

 It often does not lead to a successful career in music. If I introduce you to the lead singer of your favorite band, will this do a lot for you? Not very likely...unless:
