The "Biggest Artists of 2018" is a difficult award to hand out, because there are many different criteria we could use. When I looked at the Billboard list of Highest-Paid Musicians, all of the Top 10 made most of their money from touring. This does not apply to you if you're not a major touring artist, so I don't want to focus on highest pay alone. Instead, let's focus on the Top 10 bigg[...]
Yes yes, I’m starting a new music project! This is another MasterClass, so yes, this will be an affiliate link. I’ve done Christina Aguilera’s MasterClass already (you can check it out here) and did a full series on it. Many found it helpful so I thought, why not try it again? MasterClass has a BUNCH of music teachers, as well as actors, chefs, writers, or anything else you want to[...]

I just did a post about YouTube content for Musicians, so I thought it would be cool to create a list of YouTube content ideas if you don’t have any idea of what to do. I’ll make these too at some point and we can share. If you end up making one, drop your link in my comments and let me know how it worked out for you! *This post contains affiliate links YouTube Content Video Idea[...]

Sam Smith 7). Garth Brooks 8). P!nk 9). Demi Lovato 10). Bruno Mars If you’re wondering, “Wait, where’s (other huge artist)?” These are the top artists as of October 2017. Most of[...]
Most clients just ask if I'm a soprano, but I have had a few specifically ask for a coloratura soprano. I want to talk about what one is and how to hire one, or become one if you want! What is a Coloratura Soprano? A Coloratura Soprano is a singer who sings with a lot of runs and riffs, who is also obviously a soprano. It’s more of an opera term, but Mariah Carey and Aria[...]
The coda is another sheet music term, which again you don’t need to know if you’re a writer or musician who doesn’t read/write sheet music. If you do want to know though, the coda is an important part of letting the performer know where the song is going. When do I need to know about the coda? Sheet music is confusing enough, but then you add a bunch of weird symbols at the top[...]
If you're a session singer (or any kind of singer), you'll probably have to read sheet music at some point in your career. If you've never done it before, it might freak you out. What are all of those weird symbols? What do they mean and what do you do with them? I'm going to focus on just two today: Bass and Treble clef. Bass and Treble Clef - Sheet Musi[...]
