  Business Card: I do a lot of open mics where I perform my own original songs and I also meet people in these places a lot. Due to this, having a business card would be very useful to leave around these places and to give to people who come and talk to me as this is likely to greatly increase the streams of my music and people who follow along with what I'm doing.  I need to confirm a logo for myself for a business card and so I think I'll likely have something that's a mix of folk and pop. What I mean by this is for it to have a sepia feel and old-timey sort of but then for it to also have brighter colours and be slightly more modernised to then make it feel like pop music as well as folk sort of stuff.  I looked through loads of antique book fonts and I've added screenshots of the ones I liked below (I can't use some of them as they aren't available for commercial use - ones with a red tag rather than green).  I could use the idea for the website on the card....

Working on - arranging instruments (Demons and Dots), understanding music styles (fusions), managing a rehearsal (can organise time and place but need to work on having most efficient rehearsal possible), practical music theory application (Demons and Dots - arrangements), Wix site (setting up), youtube channel (set up but unsure on things to upload), microphone type care and set up (can set up some microphones, struggles with different mics), Di boxes/pre-amps (have used but not confident), live mixing (like mixing but never done it live before). Planning towards - online networking, interpersonal skills, making lead sheets, live streaming, instrumental skill, compression (have used but don't understand), Inserts and Outboard Rack units, Monitoring, Amps (backline and power), Speakers.  What do I want to do af...

 Creating an EPK physical things too - merch, cards etc. check list: logo audio - put links to released songs  video - music video? Also videos of performances  professional pictures - take pictures with guitar  contact - social media, email bio email address links to: youtube soundcloud bandcamp twitter facebook making website My colour scheme I think will be sepia, beige colours with the odd bit of colour which might mainly be purples. I think that logo should be maybe capital letters in my handwriting or something as it would make it recognisable.  Overal branding and approach: Design - colour, logo, font,  sepia and light blues/purples? authenticity  For my website, I'm going to have a colour scheme based around sepia with dimmed down colours on it but having elements of brighter blues and purples to represent the ways in which my music sounds and is performed. My logo will be my name written in an old book font.  SAY WHY.  Maybe splashes...

Bath Spa University: Commercial Music Course  Falmouth University:   Music BA (Hons) Popular Music BA (Hons) I need to look into these two courses further as I currently struggle to see the difference between them.  WRITE ABOUT BATH SPA - ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE COURSES AND WAHT JOBS I'M THINKING ABOUT.  Course: Commercial Music -  Commercial Music BA (Hons) Requirements = DDM or DMM - Prepared to learn a wide range of skills - High level of performance/composing skill; assessed through MP3s or Soundcloud of your best three original tracks; music technology and performance experience submitted digitally prior audition - Shortlisted candidates need to audition an original song (written or part-written by you); judged on music ability as well as personality (interview just as much as an audition)  We looked around Bath Spa University on Tuesday 30th April with Jim Dickinson as our tour leader who is the course leader for Commercial Music.
