1)   Make Music : All the saturation and marketing in the world won't matter if you do not have a professional sounding product. Notice that I did not say a high quality music product. A mediocre song that is mixed and mastered by a professional will go leaps and bounds over a well written song with a crappy demo recording. That's the truth, so deal with it and get a professional sounding product. 2)  Get Technological : Set up websites, Twitter , FB,  MySpace , and any place that doesn't charge you to sell albums, merchandise, and concert tickets. There are literally dozens, if not hundreds, of sites where you can set up your music. Does that mean that you will rake in profits? No, but this will help create a buzz for your music, and gives your fans easy access to your music. I also recommend CD Baby . You cannot beat the low price you get for what you get. Spend about $15 to set up a single on  iTunes , Amazon, and dozens of other sites, plus your own webpage a...

The Failure of Superwoman : A Young Composer's Confession  (Originally Published 2010) In this poignant confession, an overworked mother shares her daily struggles of work and family while giving a seed of hope to working mothers the world over.  My friends call me Superwoman.  Singlehandedly I juggle work, music, and motherhood , and still manage to get a healthy dinner on the table before my husband comes home at night. You can find me lecturing on Baroque Music and Beethoven at the local university, composing electronic music for my opera until the late hours of the night, teaching my baby girl proper fingering on the piano, and trying to find ways to buy organic vegetables while cutting my grocery budget by another ten percent. I appreciate the empowerment my mother's generation gave to Generations X and Y. We grew up believing that we could have it all. Despite all of the bad publicity for being "slackers", we believed that a woman could perfectly bal...
