Got A Degree In Music - Looking To Earn Some Money?

Featured Replies

I spoke with a music teacher recently about my aspiration to write music.

He suggested i'd learn harmony to begin with, and that i'd do exercises 

arranging bass lines and 2, 3 and 4 part harmony for melodies. 

I should perhaps find someone to give me feedback on my attempts,

so i was thinking maybe someone on this board could help me out.    

Also, what would be a fair hourly wage for this job?

hahahha......advertise here is not going to get you that. what you need is to start writing and self promoting it to the public. Then, publish it. Maybe you will make it. who knows. ;) Commerical art is hard.

Not to make fun of the OP, or belittle him, but how did you get a degree in music without learning harmony?

 

And I second Kvothe's advice

 

 

 

 

 

I think you guys may be misreading the original post (or maybe not reading it at all?)... My interpretation is that he is a beginner looking for someone with a degree in music to teach him harmony. In other words, the subject is [Do you] have a degree in music--[are you] looking to earn some money [by teaching him harmony]? In which case, I think this is a perfectly good place to go for help.

John, I might suggest publicly posting your harmony exercises on this site. That way, you can get feedback from a larger number of people (that's why we're here to begin with) and you wouldn't have to pay them :)

Thanks for your responses. NRKulus got it right. Sorry for not being more clear.
I was thinking i would exploit this board by posting many exercises to have them reviewed.

Well THAT makes more sense (see how adding/removing words changes the meaning?!) Yeah, post them on here and we'll give you feedback, FREE of charge!
