Beyond the teacher's studio, the business side of music should be at least
be incorporated into the music major's repertoire. I can't tell how
ignorant and unprepared for the music world once I graduated from college.
It is a daunting task to make. And most of the hardship is not
necessarily auditions and such, although those are very difficult. It is
getting your name out there and presenting yourself in the best possible
way.

I know that one just has to pay his/her dues but some of this stuff can be
taught.
