Great website about classical music
ClassicalMusicCity.com is a new and innovative web site devoted to the classical music industry. It is the most comprehensive, free source of classical music information on the web that includes information resources in the form of video, articles, news, reviews and listings. It has everything from video of masterclasses, an archive of famous classical music cartoons, classical music composer's biographies, sheet music, youth orchestra audition notices, recordings and concert announcements. All content goes through administrative approval, so it is a safe and fun place for children to roam and discover the wonders of classical music. Lots of informative content for parents too.
With over 10,000 pages and growing, you can easily find what you need. Search by keyword, topic, type of content or even by regions from as large as "worldwide" to as small as a state. It offers the traditional navigation via tabs at the top of the page which includes audio, auditions, jobs, events, articles, video, blogs and more. It also features a list of over 30 directories in the left hand column for everyone and everything from music teachers, musicians, ensembles, schools, venues, to medical professionals who specialize in treating injuries to musicians.
The real innovation comes in the form of a clever and colorful map of the CITY. Each building is a whimsical design based upon musical symbols and instruments and iconic classical music images. The buildings are topical, so when you click on the image you are taken to content (video, announcements, news, links, articles, etc.) that is related to the "theme" of that particular building. The map is colorful and bright and especially enticing to younger users. (Go to main page at www.ClassicalMusicCity.com)

How To Get Music Production Jobs
You'd probably consider that after getting the degree in Music Production you should be well on the way, could you not? However it doesn't generally work that way. It's mistaken that getting a qualification will make getting a job a lot easier, due to the fact there are actually a lot more individuals opting for jobs having degrees than in the past plus we're in a time period in which each business is usually looking for savings. It's possible though that you'll possibly not get yourself a great career with prospects without getting a degree any more.
Therefore, if you've got a degree in music production but companies aren't falling over themselves to employ you, so what on earth can you do at this point? Well, one of several stuff that you can do will be to put your creative skills to work in order to figure out ways to acquire a job within the music industry. Just before we get on the topic of seeking employment, there are actually a few things you should be informed about music companies.
A lot of the younger generation fantasize of getting in the music business and also rubbing shoulders along with superstars even though they don't have talent. Due to this the music industry all together hardly ever needs to advertise for vacant jobs even though they might be required to, legally in certain countries.
They'll just simply pay out lip service to the law given it is ridiculous, a pacifier as well as unenforceable. They may advertise from within, employ friends and family as well as employ head hunters, the same as the majority of companies do.
Therefore it's no less than just as much as who you already know over precisely what you know, all this generally means networking. You'll need to be able to network to acquire yourself at least a job interview. Try to find yourself in regardless of whether this means starting within the lowest rung of the ladder, even just as an intern.
Most companies which get interns load vacant opportunities using the very best and quite a few keen interns. The actual downside is always that interns don't get paid much. However when government gets away from it so will industry.
The initial step to consider soon after having the degree should be to research the job you desire as well as the organization you want to work for. Find out just as much regarding the career and also the company as you can. After that draft a listing of each of the individuals you know whom could possibly be in a position to assist you or even vouch for you.
Lecturers, teachers, bands and artists you know, concerts you assisted - whatever - and get in touch with them. Request for permission to use his or her brand in a job interview or perhaps a resume.
Send job applications to the specific individual (by name) that has the power to employ or even highly recommend you. That requires a lot of research. It is a long shot due to the fact music production companies tend to be flooded with cv's, however follow your own using a 2nd letter and also include a stamped self addressed envelope. Send out yet another too, why not? After that start doing a follow up using email and phone.
Be relaxed, stay pleasant, however state that you need a response and should you be unapproved along with reasons as to why then you need to remedy your short comings. Make it an effort to learn from the mistakes then one day it's going to work out to suit your needs.
