Learn the business of music

“

- [Instructor] While working on your songwriting craft is essential to a songwriting career, so is learning the music business. If you are doing more than just writing songs for yourself or your friends and you're hoping to actually generate income from your songs, then, by definition, you're in business. And learning the music business is something that will not only help you succeed, between it will get your songs out in the world so that they can genuinely reach people. So the business is really a means to an end to touching people with your songs, but without understanding the business and your place in it, you're really doing yourself a disservice and you're doing your songs a disservice because you won't know how the mechanism is designed to get your songs out into the world and to help you make a living as a songwriter.
