Im going to a school for music production where you will learn mixing, mastering and everything related, also how to make start a company (for example a studio) and work on my musical skills at the same time. So thats a start. They also invite experienced and in the national famous producers for lessons. Im currently learning piano too. Is that enough I have to ask or do you need to learn like 10 different instruments? It's cool that you are going to school! Sound engineer is a very cool profession! I wanted to make my first post about the most popular music school in the world! Berklee College of Music Here is their website http://www.berklee.edu/ How to apply: They have scholarship auditions all over the world Here is the list of all auditions http://www.berklee.edu/admissions/general/...tion_dates.html So to apply you need to fill out this form https://secure.berklee.edu/AI/prospects/ For audition: When I was auditioning 6 years ago I had to: - Play one instrumental song with backing track ( I chose Paul Gilbert) - Play Blues I-IV-V progression - Ear training one of the professors will play a few notes and a few phrases and you have to play it back on guitar The whole audition process takes about 15 minutes and than they will mail you the results! Let me know if you have any questions or need help! -------------------- |

Music Institute (MI)
It's a very nice school! Located all over the world! You can get a bachelor or certificate! I personally know a lot of musicians who went to this school and really liked it! It's much cheaper and easier to be accepted than Berklee and you will get a very high level education as well! Plus they are doing auditions a few times a month, so you might end up playing for bands like Pink or Offspring Here is their website http://www.mi.edu/ and application http://www.mi.edu/admissions/how-to-apply -------------------- |

This is what i was searching for a long time. Someone who can help in some doubts and questions about how to move in this world. I try to explain. I'm from Sardegna (yes, the little italian island) and i can say that this is the most unconofortable place for music. I play and make music from 9 year, i worked in a local recording studio but i want to step up, move forward and get something. I want to move but..... where? What can i do? Which steps can you suggest to me? I will be very greatful if we can start a conversation about this
Thank you man, Roberto -------------------- ROBERTO ORTU

Hi Roberto!!! I know how frustrating it can be and totally understand what you are talking about! I will try to help you out as much as I can! A few questions: - Do you want to go study or start working as a musician? - Do you want to stay in Europe or go somewhere else? - What type of musician you want to be? (studio/live/teacher etc.) I know you probably will say all of those and you will, but you have to know which one is your main priority! Let me know your thoughts and I will try to help you out! If I can do a "board" on what I like or i feel better, i can do in this way (from the most important to the less): 1 - Studio Guitar/Arrangements 2 - Teaching 3 - Live performance 4 - Management/Promotion/Music Business I'd love to get a good and finilizing study about the music world as a guitarist/music interested person. But I'm able to work on a parallel line. Sometimes i do it here but it's very rare to have contacts or find serious people who want to do something good or professionally directed. About where to stay, Europe can be a great solution but I also know a person who can guest me in Russia and I can live there. Only problem? Lenguage... eheheh. About other places like USA the problem is the VISA. Here from Italy we are experiencing some troubles in this period. Anyway, i'm able to try everything that can help me. Thanks for your time, Roberto -------------------- ROBERTO ORTU

Thanks for your time, Roberto Well get studio gigs is the hardest! You have to be really creative and be able to record most of the stuff from the first take! If you want to study I would suggest London or even Italy! There is a good school here is the link http://www.learn4good.com/great_schools/it...age_courses.htm In London there is Music Institute that is very nice as well! http://www.icmp.co.uk/ Check them out! I wouldn't suggest going to Russia, music industry is very bad there and there is nothing to do USA is nice but very very very hard especially if you live in Los Angeles or New York where the industry is! I hope that helps! Let me know if you have more questions! -------------------- |
