I ran across a new magazine that I wanted to share with the other teachers and working musicians here at Music Teacher’s Helper.
When I was a young musician, I used to head over to the house of a working bassist I knew and read his music magazines. Among his literary gems was a periodical called Gig. It was a trade magazine that focused on helping professional musicians succeed at the business of music.
As I grew older and became a working musician, Gig magazine ceased being published. I wondered if anyone else missed this magazine, and if there would be another periodical that would someday replace Gig.
A new periodical, called MusicPro Magazine, might just fill that void. MusicPro magazine is available online and it is free to all subscribers. This magazine is written by professional musicians as a resource for fellow professional musicians. (The editor of the magazine is a music teacher and professional drummer.) This is a resource you may want to check out and add to your reading list. Head to:
