It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like)

NEW RELEASE: James Morton’s Funk Licks Series 2

Following the success of the Funk Improvisation Series’ and the early popularity of James Morton’s Funk Licks Series 1, we’re delighted to announce the follow up series, Funk Licks Series 2, is how live and available for purchase here at Pro Music Tutor.

Continuing the theme from Funk Licks Series 1, in Funk Licks Series 2 you will be introduced to another 12 great sounding, funky licks that you can take away and place into your own saxophone solos whether playing alone or with your friends.

The early lessons of Funk Licks Series 2 remain relatively simple, although it isn’t long before the licks become more rhythmically complex and challenging. If you have followed James through the Funk Improvisation Series’ as well as Funk Licks Series 1, the more challenging licks will push you yet at the same time will seem like a natural progression as you develop your own ability and style with the sax in your hand.

Songwriting is Not Just About Writing Songs

This post originally appeared on ben-church.co.uk, and is republished in full here with permission from the author.

Songwriting is about a lot more than writing songs.

I know, it sounds silly. Some would argue that it’s not right and that songwriting should be ‘pure.’ But while they argue about it, the ones who get on with learning everything around songwriting will start getting the work!

Gone are the days of being able to send a rough demo to a record company and getting a record deal or a cut (another artist recording your song). To even be in with a shout any budding songwriter needs to learn the music business, music production, marketing and (of course!) songwriting.

It’s a lot of work, combining what might traditionally be four separate jobs. I’m going to share what I learn and document some of my journey of trying to ‘make it,’ whatever that means.

Because there is money to be made making music, after all. And there is a lot of fun to be had on the way…
