By Earl Marsden

 So you found your calling, music teaching. Congratulations, many people are still trying to figure out what is the career of their dreams. However, just because you are an artist does not mean you have to be a struggling one.

Art and business do mix and if you become a smart entrepreneur chances are it will be easier for you to teach music the way you want. If that is what you desire, you really should consider going into private teaching on your own.

By becoming your own boss, you can control how you work, how many hours and for what pay. Of course, building a business from the ground is hard no mater what the field and this one is no exception.

Aside all the practical aspects of it, the most important thing you should devote your energy to so your business sores is how to get students to enroll and choose you from all the other offers out there.

Just open your newspaper and see all the ads for music teachers and music lessons. There is no doubt this is a competitive market. To thrive you need a way to stand out.

The most obvious would be qualifications. The more and better yours are, the most likely it is that someone will find you competent enough. If this is not your strong point, try to take some courses or even follow a music degree.

It is also fundamental you get your name around. If no one knows you, no one will hire you. Word to mouth is one of the best ways, since people usually trust the person that givens them advice. You can also advertise but it does cost you money you may not have and it is not guarantee to work.

All things consider, there are several ways to turn you art into your living in a comfortable manner. In anyway you choose to go about it, do not forget that one of the most crucial points is your students list. After all, who would else would you teach?

Where You Can Find Music Videos Online
By MIKE SELVON

 Music videos are now accessible to millions of Americans, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. YouTube, a leading viral video site, offers all of your favorite artists; old, new, unsigned and international! For some artists, the exposure is amazing. For others, the copyright infringement can’t seem to be stopped.

Yet the fans find that the free clips truly embody all that’s great about the internet! There are many types of musical videos for your viewing pleasure, and they are just a mouse-click away.

Have you dreamt of being on American Idol? Do you write or perform your own music and wish to be discovered? Well, posting your original music videos on YouTube just might make you world-famous! Just ask Chris Crocker, whose rants about Britney Spears scored him a spot in Weezer’s latest music video.

Then there’s Terra Naomi, whose YouTube music clips earned her a recording contract with Island Records. Similarly, unknown artist Esmee Denters toured with Justin Timberlake, following his viral video debut!

Before attending a live concert, nothing will pump you up more than watching music videos from that band! Or perhaps you’d like to revisit your childhood and have an “80s music video marathon!” Have a crush on a singer? You can drool over the Myspace videos or even embed it into your social networking profile!

If you missed Coldplay performing on The Colbert Report, then don’t fret because YouTube will have it! Perhaps you were a big fan of the Henry Rollins Show or TRL, of which you can also watch free episodes of online. There are countless reasons why you might need to get your music video fix.

Myspace videos are picking up steam, but still lag behind the more established YouTube selection. If you want to post a video on your Myspace profile, then it doesn’t really matter which site you pull the video codes from, as they both work essentially the same way. There are also third party sites, like “Pimp Myspace”, that allow you to snag music for your site.

To add music videos to your site, you’ll need the code with the words “embed,” not just the url. Just highlight and cut the entire code, go into your Myspace editor and paste the code into one of your windows. A good place to add music is in the “favorite music” section, but you may also choose to add it under “heroes,” “television,” “general” or “about me.”

Mike Selvon portal offers free articles on myspace. Find out more about music videos, and leave a comment at the myspace posters blog.
