Chapter 1. Band Politics

Many people who say, "Music is my life," don't back it up. It's more looks and swagger than talent and showing up. This is a book for people who actually want to be musicians , not just look like musicians.

Rock and roll ain't rocket science, but it takes a little work. Most books on music promise unattainable goals. This one is different; it offers realistic goals and a map for reaching them, drawn by a man who has actually met and exceeded these goals.

$30 Music School is a true insider's manual. I learned by trial and error so that you won't have to make the same mistakes. (You can make different mistakes!)

This is a quick-start course on how to jump into making music, get it heard worldwide, make a living, and not compromise yourself to the whims of the entertainment industry.

$30 Music School has useful information for anyone trying to get noticed in any kind of popular music: Rock, Indie Rock, Alternative, Metal, Nu-Metal, Punk, Hardcore, Crust, Hip Hop, Electronica, Trip Hop, and DJ. Even Country, Jazz, Swing, and Salsa.

Playing in a band is the number-one career goal of most young people. Yet most are not aware of what it actually takes to "make it." The chance of "making it" on the superstar level most people dream of is next to impossible . You would be better off buying lottery tickets.

However, it is very possible to make compelling music and distribute it worldwide on a smaller level. And even make some money.

The author has done all this.

Digital D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) recording, distribution, and promotion is leveling the playing field. The middleman has less and less place in today's music. Peer-to-peer file sharing networks are crumbling the walls that large corporations have created to keep the masses out. As a result, the major labels are going the way of the lumbering dinosaur in the tar pits of the marketplace .

I will show you how to thrive in this new business environment.

Be the Ninja: Be small, fast, and brilliant , and you can survive where the big, bloated dinosaurs fail.

This book is all about cutting through the star-system crap and getting to the heart of art, to make great music that can reach the world on no budget.

$30 Music School is your ticket into the showto do it yourself, not compromise your vision, and be heard .
