Music
Consulting: (Some consulting services
are still available)
Consulting
seems to be everywhere in the business world, except when it comes to the
music business. Music Consulting is a service modeled after consulting
services from such other disciplines as medicine, law, engineering, and
public relations. Families, businesses, school, and music organizations
spent thousands of dollars each year without expert advice on instrument
selection, acoustics, electronics, programming, installation, component
compatibility, music technology, recording technology, music education,
production, advertising, music therapy, and music career selection. Engaging
competent music consultation would facilitate their getting better value
for each dollar spent of their music, equipment, and construction budgets.
Consultation will be billed hourly or per project. You need a
Music Consultant if you:
A. are planning a Wedding, reception, or fashion show for which
the music is an important part of the event;
B. are building an establishment for which acoustics is an important
part of the function;
C. have a significant music budget which is not being utilized
effectively;
D. are planning to spend thousands of dollars on pursuing a music
career which may not pan out;
E. need to install electronic and music equipment into a new
or renovated building;
F. are planning to purchase and install a large organ, piano,
or other expensive music equipment;
G need inexpensive original music for commercials, advertising,
political events, or other;
H. have serious music therapy need in you family;
I. feel that your own music director or department needs
outside expert help to accomplish a set of goals.
All initial
consultations are free of charge.

Comprehensive
Music Study:
Our society
applauds and rewards the specialist in most areas of endeavor, especially
in music. However, the Renaissance ideal has always been to celebrate the
musician (The Comprehensive Musician) who has a significant grasp
of music in all of its various components. These include Music Theory,
Music Composition, Orchestration, Music Arranging, Counterpoint, Performance
on instruments from the four instrumental families, Conducting, Improvisation,
Music History, Music Philosophy, Music Education, Aesthetics, Recording,
Electronics, Computer Music Printing and Sequencing, Choral and Vocal Music,
Song Writing, Jazz, and Folk Music. This concept is extremely ignored by
most universities and most curriculums. This course of study involves all
of the above in an integrated curriculum tailored to the individual and
his present musical strengths and his goals and interests. Every Comprehensive
Music Student will study slightly different curricula in a slightly different
balance and arrive at a slightly different place in his music proficiencies
as a result. Successful instruction would require a multifaceted
instructor with a wide and varied educational and professional background.
See--(Do You Know Jack)(Getting
to Know Jack). The successful student should be interested in seeing
the big picture of how music works as well as learning the specific skills
required to reach the Renaissance ideal of Comprehensive Musician. The
lessons are 60 to 120 minutes in length and usually include instruction
on one or more instruments, combination theory-composition-history-philosophy
instruction, and a project oriented hands-on music involvement.
All
initial consultations are free of charge.

Music
Composition:
In
a way, lessons in Music Composition, like the Comprehensive Music Study
above, involves all aspects of music. The composer must understand and
be fully fluent in Music Theory, Performance Practices, Music History,
Orchestration, conducting, and more. In short, the composer must understand
the big picture and all of its components. See--(Comprehensive
Music Study). However, composition is not a "black art" (magic). Every
musician who can read a little music and hum a tune can learn to compose.
I've heard workers out in the fields whistling tunes that if written down
would be wonderfully composed tunes. Composition is the art and skill of
taking the musical sounds that everyone hears in their heads and transcribing
them into a format that others can shore and enjoy them. Everyone could
be a composer if they tried. This course helps to make that come true.
Study of Music Composition involves Music Theory, part writing, orchestration,
transposition, rhythmic studies, music listening, Music History, and an
examination of performance practices. All initial consultations are
free of charge.
