Essential blogs for summer reading

It’s summer and that means lots of beach time reading. This year, instead of the go-to gossip magazine or the novel you picked up at the nearby mini-mart on your way out of town, you’ve opted for the tablet. After all, today’s beaches are tech-forward and often wifi equipped!

So, with you and your vacation in mind, we thought we’d give you some leisurely reading so that in addition to maintaining your rhythm you can stay up to date on the latest musical information.

Our selection of essential blogs compliments articles found on our blog and will likely give you additional ideas on how to practice alongside any of our backing tracks.

For the DIY musician

www.diymusician.cdbaby.com

This is a very clever website dedicated to amateur musicians. Their advice covers music-making from self-production to self-promotion. Some examples? How to tour through Europe without really touring, how to manage your fans, how to distribute music and lots more!

From the expert singers

Blogs that specialize in consulting singers often base their explanations, almost unconsciously, on the principle that the reader is just starting out and has nowhere to go but up. Articles from the Institute for Vocal Advancement offer a completely different perspective. These blogs are intended for teachers and thus address topics such as the difference between a singing teacher and vocal coach, vocal preparation for a tour or what songs to advise students for an audition.
