Hi everyone,
I thought I would start a new topic to discuss something that I haven't seen talked about much on this board, while barreling through so many threads on equipment and "who's your favorite" posts. . .
A very important part of being a musician these days is self promotion, something that I have been trying to figure out for years now. This is something I don't really see being taught in music schools, or talked about in any serious professional sense, yet as a chamber music, freelancer, soloist or anything that isn't directly sitting in an orchestra, it is of paramount important.
So, what are the ways all of you have found to promote ones self, or an ensemble.
Advertisement? Facebook? Word of mouth?
What do you find successful? What is a waste of time? Do we need print material in this day and age? What do festivals or venues want?
I'm hoping this is an interesting and followed topic, because I think musicians (especially young musicians) should learn much more about this aspect.
After all, having the most beautiful sound and phrasing in the world doesn't really matter if nobody hears it.
Looking forward to your responses
Sacha
