HERB ALPERT FOUNDATION LAUNCHES ONLINE MUSIC RESOURCE
May 1, 2007 5:32 PM
The new ArtistsHouseMusic.org is an active community that allows musicians and entrepreneurs to connect with like-minded artists worldwide and tap into the minds of some of the most successful music entrepreneurs, thinkers and educators in the country. Launched May 1, ArtistsHouseMusic.org provides a free, interactive platform guided by music-education experts and music-business veterans that allows the opportunity to learn not just from one expert, but from hundreds.
Contributions to the site come from such luminaries as Wayne Kramer of MC5, songwriting legend Randy Newman, Grammy winner Glen Ballard and music-industry veteran Bob Jamieson. The site covers a variety of subjects, including songwriting basics, how to book and promote gigs, the ins and outs of copyrighting and contracts, how to market yourself successfully on and offline and how to become an effective music educator.
In conjunction with the site's official launch, Artists House is hosting a contest which will give visitors the chance to submit music demos or written articles, such as marketing and business plans or education-related pieces, to be evaluated by a panel of industry experts. Winners will have their piece posted on the site, along with personalized advice on their materials from these industry experts. Currently in its beta version, the site was conceived and initially funded by The Herb Alpert Foundation.
