I've finished a piece I've been working on for several years, and I am going to copyright it in a few weeks or months. Does anyone have any tips on how to "get the music out there"? Internet contests, etc.? It would be wonderful to have the music get noticed by an orchestra and have it performed someday, but it certainly won't be if no one knows about it, and I am a complete and utter newbie in the publicity business.

Networking. Get out there and meet people. Go to local concerts, especially those of other composers. If it's an orchestral piece, it'll be a bit trickier to get it performed. You may try writing some chamber pieces first to get your name out there. Aside from that, there are a lot of composition contests out there, I'd look into that as well.

On the first performance, plan for a "wardrobe malfunction." ![[whoa]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/smilie10.gif) ...GBK

There are actually a lot of community orchestras around too. You might look around and see if you can get anyone to look at it locally. They might be willing to at least sightread it one night and see how it goes from there.
In our local community band we did play a piece like that from a student. In this case it was pretty awful it was short a one page thing that was probably one of his/her first compositions.
