What if I tell you that -

a) You can make a better than decent living out of your passion in music?

b) Your passion results in a life long romance and an opportunity to see and visit places?

c) A number of persons have created a great name for themselves in the profession of a disc jockey and are earning more than the top ranking CEOs of some big companies.

Sounds like a dream? Doesn’t it? Well here is all that you want to know about various options available to you in the field of music.

First things first. You need to decide the field you want to specialize in. You may be a super performer, a great entertainer. All these professional choices are open to you for further advancing in your career.

There are a few things which you need to bear in mind before embarking on the great musical journey of your life. Having decided to make a career in the field, you would definitely be brimming with skills and talent. What you may require is perhaps some ideas about what options are available to you in the vast field of music.

Let us concentrate on the profession of a performer. A performer gives shape and his personal touch to music and gets maximum accolades for a nice performance. You can be a part of a band or independent. If you are a band member, you can be a vocalist, a drummer, a pianist or a guitarist. In that case, one of the avenues available to you is to give a live performance at many places such as night clubs, weddings, holiday parties, company functions, music stores, star hotels, cruise liners, grand openings and so on. There is a great demand for a disc jockey and you may end up earning good amounts as you gain experience in the area.

Another area you can explore is to cut and place your own CD for sale in the market. It is a good idea to package your music and create a bit of hype around it. Remember it is show business. You may be a powerhouse of talent but would still require some publicity to sell it.

Teaching music is yet another career choice available to you. This is a wonderful profession, which does not require a college degree or certificate. All you require is better than average credentials, word of mouth publicity and the ability to play an instrument. In fact, you can even take this up part-time along with any of the other options; you are sure to find hordes of eager students in your locality.

You can also work in a recording studio and help people make their own albums. Of course you would need to be a more discerning in various genres of music such as Jazz, Classical, Country, Rock and Urban etc. so as to be able to offer sound advice and make a difference in their music. You would also need to be conversant with techniques such as audio mastering and digital music recording to be better off.

Music is a vast field and the sky is the limit for those who want to make a beginning. Believe me; your life will never be same again.

trends means there may be a number of students out there who are weighing options after graduation. Is college an option? Or are there other ways to get into the music recording business?

Working in the music recording industry means a chance to work with top recording artists and musicians. There are many different careers in the industry. Music producers guide the shape of sound, while a sound engineer captures sound.

The music business is trending towards moving online, so it is really important to learn as much about the music recording side of the business as you can. Digital music distribution over the Internet has really changed the landscape of the music business. Music technology has also grown quite a bit. Today’s musicians must have knowledge about technology — some of which is software. The virtual world means having to be famaliar with software, plus there is still some hardware based technologies.

Donny Baker is a music producer and studio engineer at Elephant Symphony in Glendale, California says he likes teaching via the mentor approach because once his students graduate, they are engineers. Technology is constantly changing but in this industry it is changing backwards.

Baker’s mentor approach works, and the best part is that you’ll get a real world learning experience in a New York music recording school or one in Los Angeles.

In fact there are a number of students who actually went to college, then did a mentor perogram afterwards to REALLY learn the business. At one Los Angeles music recording school, a student from Atlanta said, “During my apprenticeship I got to meet P. Ditty, Master P. and Jermaine Dupri. I was honored to work with David Banner in Atlanta. I can’t even explain to you how much this program did for me. I thank you and bless you.”

There is just tons of stuff that the mentor programs teach that you just don’t, or can’t get in traditional schools. The curriculum qualifies graduates for positions as a music producer or a recording studio engineer.

Students are taught in one-on-one private sessions in a recording studio. It’s an apprentice type program – under the direct supervision of a music industry professional working on real-world projects. Plus there’s no experience necessary, and students can take classes part time during night or weekend sessions.

Teachers who are mentors in the music recording business know how to succeed in the very competitive engineering field – so they end up passing their knowledge and experience on to their students. It is a win-win situation.

Despite all that has been said about being politically correct MnM Recording Studio is the UK’s Number 1 Exclusive Gospel Recording Studio situated at the heart of North London Providing Excellent sound Recordings. 

Initially when I heard about it I thought OMG not another freaky company, to my amazement I was pleasantly surprised and when I checked out what the studio had to offer in terms of the equipment, production and just the general vibe! It was truly divine (if that’s the write word for it). 

When I asked the owners why Christians only, he said he was Christian and believed that in order to produce divinely inspired music you had to be in the rite atmosphere, fair enough I said.

I spoke to a few locals who to be honest didn’t seem to care much about the subject, but a few did give the impression that it was about time the Christians stood up for their faith! without apologising for it, other faiths are doing it so why cant they?  good question I thought to myself.

This episode made me realise that the only reason I as drawn to this subject as because i being Christian myself have felt especially in the last few years uncomfortable about speaking freely about my faith, i guess i was afraid about the consequences.   To my surprise i feel born again again in the sense that my research on this subject has connected me back to my roots and foundation. 

so here goes!! Good for you MnM Record!

MnM Recording studio truly the home of the modern gospel artist!!!
