QUESTION: Hiring a professional or a conductor or whatever is a good play however its very expensive and being a small time singer it may hurt your finances, your problems are normal, its a lot easier when you play in conductor-led ensembles, but when working in small groups you are required to make shared decisions about what and how you play. Decision-making comes to a head during rehearsals, so, in this post, I offer tips to deal with 4 common rehearsal challenges that collaborating Musical artistes face. 1. Conflicting Interpretations It’s normal for musicians to have differing views about tempo, lyrics and so on. Here are avenues to tap your differences and fuel creativity in the process: Experiment before criticizing. When a group member proposes an interpretive idea that you deem unsuitable, try it before commenting. Use conditional language. Say things like, “What if we tried it this way?” or “How would it sound if…?” Avoid being an agbaya(bossy) and annoying, compromise, Balance your opinions to achieve consensus, contributing and compromising along the way. But when a solo part has the lead, defer to the soloist’s choice " I no go gree I no go gree na so accident take dey happen" be careful 2. Consistent Professionalism Professionalism forms the foundation of an ensemble’s culture, and the following habits will help you maintain healthy cultures: Agree to be punctual, prepared, courteous and honest. Abide by high standards, and apologize if you miss the mark. Use “I” statements to communicate disappointment. If a colleague lets you down, in place of accusing, say something like, “I feel frustrated when we can’t begin on time.” Set up meetings to resolve problems. 3. Repertoire Agreement What music will you program for a concert? Which Songs will you rehearse first? Those and other questions resolve more easily when we live by guidelines such as these: Choose multipurpose, accessible repertoire. Select songs that excite you, support your group’s goals, and you can learn in a reasonable amount of time. Take time to decide. When agreement on a title isn’t immediate, postpone deciding, revisit the music again, and come to a consensus about whether to perform it. Breathe life into your performance. Give yourself over to a piece that your colleagues prefer, regardless of whether it ideally matches your aesthetic. 4. Handling Criticism Critical give and take is essential to collaborative work, and learning to handle criticism is central to our profession: Adopt a cooperative approach to listening and communicating. When you receive critiques, absorb them objectively without taking things personally. Use non-accusing words. When sharing your thoughts, rely on conditional language instead of pointing fingers Admit when you mess up. Take responsibility so that you promote honesty and creativity. |

QUESTION:It’s not easy to succeed in the music world, and musicians can sometimes compete with rather than support each other. Still, you are all part of the same artistic community, and when you all stop being overly competitive and start helping, then the industry can become a community Here are 6 quick ideas to help each other succeed. 1. Mentor Consider mentoring younger musicians – you’ll not only support their goals but also learn things in the process. 2. Share Information If you performed at a venue that would suit other musicians you know, tell them about it. Similarly, share contact info for good recording studios and other resources. 3. Exude Positivity When you rehearse together, zero in on shortcomings, but help your colleagues excel by saying positive things like, “I enjoy the energy in your playing” or “I’m inspired by your rich sound.” 4. Attend Concerts Listen to fellow performers’ concerts and acknowledge their efforts. 5. Support Colleagues’ Projects When you can, contribute to colleagues’ activities – musically, financially, logistically or otherwise. 6. Be a Resource Aim to be a person that other musicians value both as an artist and a supporter of the arts. The Musician’s Way provides far-reaching guidelines to help you advance as a solo and collaborative performer. |

QUESTION:The Musician's Way “It’s not just how good you are. It’s how intriguing you are.” All musicians work hard to maintain and improve our skills. Too often, though, young musicians devote years to “getting better” without concurrently growing their distinctiveness, and then they struggle to attract audiences and bookings. Here are 7 ways aspiring performers can unleash their distinctiveness and embark on paths to becoming intriguing artists. 1. Perform New Music When we incorporate today’s music into our repertoire, we gain relevance among diverse music and art lovers. So let’s seek opportunities to collaborate with composers, do arrangements, present premieres, and maybe even write our own music. Let’s each of us amass repertoires that reflect who we are, where we come from, and what we care about. 2. Design Alluring Programs Few things generate more interest among music lovers than alluring concert programs. We might construct programs around concepts we find compelling, offer well-known music with new pieces mixed in, and so forth. In that way, over time, we assemble portfolios of programs that communicate our artistic personalities. 3. Interact with Audiences & Fans Audiences crave interactions with performers. We deepen our relationships with people when we share well-crafted words from the stage, publish newsletters and blogs, communicate on social media, and grow our online reputations. 4. Connect with Communities If we expect audiences to be interested in our work, it helps if we understand our audiences. To that end, we can bring performances, music education, and a supportive attitude to diverse people. What’s more, community organizations are usually eager to work with us. 5. Collaborate We can experiment with innovative musical partnerships as well as collaborations across disciplines such as with filmmakers or choreographers. 6. Study The world of music is endlessly fascinating, and it’s our responsibility as music leaders to embrace lifelong learning. Among other things, we should read about innovative musicians, both past and present, local and far-flung; we should listen to recordings, hear live concerts, and be students of creativity. 7. Take Risks Playing it safe is a recipe for stagnation. When Musicians exit their comfort zones, we broaden our creative powers in countless ways. Our insight deepens, our art follows suit, and then we and our music become ever more intriguing. The Musician’s Way has helped musicians worldwide become authentic performing artists, and it’s now on |

Question: i've heard a lot of times that the quality of your tone will probably have a more immediate impact on listeners than any other feature of your execution the question however is how do i achieve this? 6 Ways to Cultivate Expressive Tone Performers know the power of tone quality. Sweet tones can charm, almost like magic, and harsh sounds quickly put people on edge. Nonetheless, many students don’t pay close attention to tone production nor the emotional language of tone color, so here are six tips for building mastery. Understand Tone Production Be sure that you grasp the inner workings of tone production with your instrument or voice and that you can readily alter your sound by significant amounts. If not, consult a teacher for guidance. Vary Tone in Scale Practice Refine your tone-producing skills by employing tone color variations in your scale practice, experimenting across registers and keys. Explore the Expressive Grammar of Tone In your repertoire practice, use tone colors to enhance expressive gestures, going beyond your habitual patterns. Compare, for instance, how passages comes across when you make your tone bright versus dark. Here’s an illustration of how brighter tone enhances echoing passages Attune Your Listening Bring fresh attention to the density, color and shape of your sound in each phrase you play or sing, opening new avenues for creative expression. Also listen to recordings of master artists and scrutinize how they use tone color. Perform for Colleagues As you expand your tone-color vocabulary, do practice performances for colleagues and request their feedback. Record Yourself Good-quality digital recorders will enable you evaluate your work objectively and make your practice optimally productive. |

QUESTION: Ah ah bros cool down na lol, i'll make this brief do music producers, artists, and bands need managers to succeed in music? Maybe, maybe not. It depends on where you are currently in your career. This question will come up sooner or later regardless of where you are. Before signing any contracts here are a few things to consider. 1. “Making money” is not a satisfactory answer when considering what you want from your music career. There are lots of ways to make money… how do you want to make money? That can help you determine what kind of manager you need, or if you need one at this point in your career. 2. A manager isn’t someone who takes a nobody and turns him or her into a somebody. 3. Can you afford a manager? When you take these questions into consideration not only will you know what you need and when you need it but it will also help you set goals and give you foresight. As for doing the managers work yourself, well it may be a good idea however when you get too large, you just need to put your career in the hands of a good talent manager and not a rip-off agency like many of our unfortunate artistes do, don't worry you'll be fine it all depends on timing and dedication, cheers. |

QUESTION: You made the right decision, in any occupation one ventures into it's always important to stay active and never idle and you're stepping in the right direction as podcasting is on it's way of becoming the new blogging and it's good to be ahead in a trend Working as a Podcaster When you think about radio, one never takes into account the online world that we now live in and the prevalence of broadcasting opportunities that we can find on the internet. Online radio and internet radio stations are popping up all over the world and the wonderful thing about these is that everything is done and can be done online. Each radio broadcast and live streaming radio session is handled independently most of the time, which is great news if you are looking for radio jobs online. You can even start your own work-at- home online radio show and create podcasts everyday on your own. For an internet radio station, you don’t have to necessarily have a full production team and crew like at a local radio station. You have the chance to be your own sound engineer, DJ, producer, station manager, script writer and advertising executive in one. With your own radio show you can talk about whatever you like and play whatever kind of music you like. Your live streaming radio can be a huge success with very little capital to start it off. You will soon find that a course in marketing and advertising will be helpful as well as voice over course. Online radio jobs are ones that you generally make yourself, but now and again, you may find online radio stations looking for voice over artists for various radio commercials that they want to produce for clients. Sometimes they will even look for a great station manager to handle all of the admin, finances and corporate side of things. With podcasts taking the world by storm and giving ordinary people a voice, you can now be involved in online radio and find radio jobs online without any formal degree most of the time.Most of the radio jobs online will be freelance positions. Take note, if the Internet’s your thing then consider blog writing jobs as a way gain a presence online. Get in good with a blog owner and then offer to add a podcast or radio channel! Podcasts are syndicated downloads meaning that instead of having live streaming radio online, you can download the radio show or online radio clip, interview or announcement that you are interested in hearing. The podcasts enable listeners to subscribe and the content will be automatically downloaded for them each time, which means that your radio jobs online just got a whole lot easier. Starting your own internet radio station is much easier as you can attract regular listeners for your radio show or radio broadcast. Any radio broadcast that you create for online purposes can also be shared through the many video and audio file sharing websites. This will help to give you a much larger database of listeners and thus attract more and more people to advertise on your internet radio station. The radio jobs online are endless and you can set your own rates and salaries as you see fit running your own radio shows and podcasts over the internet. |

Benefiting from Auditions and Competitions “You can control your performance but not the result of an audition or a competition.” Whenever you audition or compete, you offer yourself up for criticism. That criticism may be overt, as when judges provide comments, or it may be implied, as when a performer is passed over for a prize or a seat in an orchestra. If the thought of getting critiqued or not winning a position 'no dey sweet your body',then your qualms about criticism and rejection will probably undermine your ability to perform as well as your willingness to take artistic risks. To make the most of auditions and competitions, you have to welcome being judged and, in the process, embrace opportunities to grow. Accepting Results Inevitably, when capable performers vie for the same prize combines with the subjective nature of evaluation to cook up a stew of unpredictability. Sometimes it’s obvious who deserves to win; other times judges agonize to select a winner from a pool of comparable finalists. One of the keys to excelling at auditions and contests is to pledge to accept the results, regardless of whether you think they’re apt or odd. Another key is to approach an event with a broad-based career plan, a growth mindset, and a solid sense of self so that the stakes don’t assume inflated importance. Focusing on Growth In a nutshell, you can control your performance but not the result of an audition or a competition. Sure, winning is nice. But if you prepare thoroughly and perform as well as you can, you have succeeded, even if no prize comes your way. Similarly, if you underperform because some feature of your preparation was inadequate, you also benefit because competing teaches you things that you weren’t able to learn otherwise. You can then upgrade your practice habits and your performance skills in response. Either way, your participation fuels your growth. So, although not all competitors can win prizes, all can learn valuable lessons from the experience of competing, provided that they choose suitable contests and participate as part of a broader artistic and professional development plan. See The Musician’s Way for detailed guidelines to practice, perform, and audition successfully. |
