Tom Leu's Musician's Corner® books at www.NewBandTips.com are insights and considerations for new(er) bands and groups that have little experience and want to get started quickly and on the right foot. The "tips" aren't necessarily new, because the principles required for success in music & business haven't changed much. It takes talent, tenacity, and timing in that order to "make it." Uncommon success = common sense applied!

 

So who again, is this NewBandTips material for??

 

A) Bands, artists and musicians who realize that while they may be good musicians, they aren't (yet) the greatest marketers of their music. You have to be good at both the music AND the business of the music business to really get somewhere, anywhere.

 

B) Parents, friends, relatives, supporters and managers who think they know the next Rock Star or American Idol? If you know someone you believe has what it takes to succeed in music, do you - do they - really know what it takes to "get your music out there?"

 

Do you all understand the many, many nuances required to...?

 

1. Create a compelling artist - a superstar act who commands attention?

2. Produce provocative music - world-class tunes that evoke a reaction/response?

3. Incorporate relevant marketing strategies - smart actions that get you noticed & booked?

 

If not, you need all of the NewBandTips contained in the Musician's Corner® audio book:

REALITY CHECK: Most unsuccessful musicians and bands deserve to be... that's right, the vast majority of indie musicians simply aren't <<Selection in Document>>good enough at BOTH aspects necessary for a successful music career... the MUSIC + the BUSINESS!  Harsh?  Mean-spirited?  Not if it's true.  And the truth is... most independent musicians aren't living in reality when it comes to 1) honestly evaluating the quality of their music nor 2) effectively marketing & promoting their music ongoing. 

  • Free Tip #1 - get objective feedback from experienced producers, songwriters or industry pros regarding the overall quality of your music (No, your Mom, your girlfriend and your buddies aren't objective). 

  • Free Tip #2 - swallow your pride, admit that you might not know everything about this subject, and start learning all you can about marketing and selling yourself and your music better than your competition.

I'm assuming you know the music; I'm here to teach you about the business.  If you really believe your music has what it takes... that something special... then step-up and invest in yourself and get the Musician's Corner® resources today!  Remember: successful people DO what dreamers don't; they consistently take the necessary ACTION to make their dreams become reality! Watch...

"Tom Leu is a dedicated and passionate believer in the concept of  'the well-rounded musician.'  Any musician who adheres to Tom's enlightening words will realize a career in a band takes more than being a great player, and will make a point of becoming well informed on the business aspects of music, will learn to be a strong collaborator and a team player and, as a result, will be a success!"

 

- Pamela Phillips Oland

Award-winning songwriter and author of "The Art of Writing Great Lyrics" and "The Art of Writing Love Songs"

 

"It was a pleasure having Tom speak to our CD Baby Members in Chicago.  His book, Money, Marketing, & Myths Inside the Musician’s Corner® is a great resource for artists at all levels of the music business.  Being a musician himself gives him more credibility than most of the people who write books about the industry.  If you want to make it in this business as a musician, you need to read Money, Marketing, & Myths inside the Musician's Corner®.  Everyone in attendance enjoyed his presentation and Q&A.  We can't wait to invite him back!"

The messages contained throughout the Musician's Corner® audio book deliver a "reality mentality" by blending honesty with inspiration; the practical with the positive. I'm blunt up front but always end with encouragement.

 

This material is not for the unteachable... I don't want to talk to those who are jaded and jilted; the negative nay-sayers who think they know it all. If that's you, this 'aint for you.

 

This material is for those who are willing to learn and eager to get honest about this business of music that they are into. These resources are for those who are passionate about making progress with their music by investing time in the subtleties of success that any business requires, but are often over-looked.

  • I am not here to talk about playing music, I am here to talk about effectively selling yourself and your music once you already know how to play.

  • I am not here to teach you how to play a "C" chord, I am here to make you "see" the realities required to become a successful independent artist or group.

  • Don't be one of those groups who do nothing, know no one, and end up going nowhere...
