Expanding Your Musical Horizons. Your New Year’s Resolution.

Everyone is making New Year’s resolutions. Have you made yours? Some try to lose weight….(OK….so I can stand to lose at least ten, big deal). Others try to quit smoking. Some try to be a better person. As for me? My resolution is to simply listen to more music. I want to learn more about genres that have not commanded my attention. Opera. Country (oooh…..that was painful….but I said it). Gospel. Classical. Big Band. (After thinking about it a bit, I take back Country. Can’t do it. Cancel more Country. Give me more jazz instead).

Seriously, what do you wish to accomplish musically this year? I know it’s a funny question, but you don’t have to be a musician to answer it.

Whatever it is, plan it out. Go to more concerts. Attend music seminars at your local music store. Subscribe to a music magazine…..Guitar Player, Keyboard, Mix, Modern Drummer….whatever. There are so many great publications out there. Also, take time to listen to our Inside MusiCast interviews. If you’re new to the site and podcast, take time and listen to our archived chats with some of the best in the music biz.

I encourage you to expand your musical horizons and go where you haven’t gone before…..that is, musically.

Happy New Year.
