New Music Industry

I got this article from scoop.it. I like how the article explains how the piano apps can be useful for beginner people at the piano. This can be useful for little children that are ages 6-10.

A app to learn music ! Wow no wonder is was well funded. It described as unicorn. Music is a growing Phenomenon in itself so the contribution is absolutely appreciated.

This is absolutely amazing. It’s a lot of young kids /teenagers who are interested in perusing a career in music. My niece for one is definitely into music and I think in my opinion this is definitely what she needs to kick start her career. Making a difference in the industry as a young person goes a long way. So many young people don’t get that chance. A lot of them do but a lot more of them don’t. I think the youth will change the world a lot with this. At least the next generation coming up will be inspired for sure.

This is a good example of how there are people trying to assist youth in the music industry. it is also a great resource for the next generation of the music industry to look into.

AmazeVr is giving fans a new experience for virtual concerts. Due to the pandemic many music venues were shut down for protocol. Now fans get to see their favorite artists perform up close as if they were in person. This also allow performers to do what they love without taking a break because of Covid-19. Although attending concerts are better in my opinion, I think this is a great alternative.

Musically.com shares  credible source on music and technology updates for everyone.

This was a shorter article but I liked how it was straight to the point. It has insight on the product and how it was planning to expand.

This is another credible source with story having the dates and author credited. The great part about the information is that it was current with the way live shows were going to evolve with technology.

360 Reality Audio is sounding more like the new hot toy on the audio production market. Giving its users that surround sound experience that turns the most basic sounds into a more organic feel to its.   

This article is about a fairly new streaming company which allows independent artists to not only stream their music but also to sell merch and tickets to their performances as well. Billie Ellish's used this service for her 'Where Do We Go? Livestream' in October of last year, she sold tickets for $30 each. I think this service is great for up and coming artists, it gives them the opportunity to have a shop for everything they need all in one place. I especially like the options for artists to host their own live events. It really helps put the artist in control of their career.  

This article does follow the currency portion of the source guide, stating that if an article is old and outdated you should be skeptical about its reliability. This article here was written on March 02, 2021 which is a little less than a month since then I'm writing this. Also, another key thing is you 'can't tell' who necessarily wrote the post, meaning that the article shows no bias.

This is the same website as the previous article and there isn't too many shares either on this article. But just as the last one it was a very easy read that allowed you to really understand what was going on. 

There isn't a motive of making the reader choose a side in this article but if I had to come up with sides I would say that looking from the artist's perspective with Maestro joining Sony that helped increase exposure and also I'm sure of new features within the streaming service. On the other end, joining with Sony could have taken away a lot of ownership that Maestro leaders that may have still wanted that control. 

• This is a great idea, with the music industry suffering from covid – 19. Not being able to pack stadiums and fill seats, the revenue that was once brought in by doing live events has shook the world not only for artist but for the people who put events together in all aspects of entertainment. Modern technology from Maestro will change just that, in addition to live-streaming tech, Maestro offers its music clients monetization tools that enable them to sell tickets and merch, set up pay-per-view and subscription events, and to interact/give “shout outs” to fans who tip on the platform. Maestro is capable of hosting live, virtual, and augmented reality concerts, or a mixture of the three. This is a game changer.

- The article was written by Andre Paine of musicweek.com, this entry appears to be confirmed as multiple articles can be found declaring the same. 

This article is about the Fender Play app which allows you to learn how to play the guitar. I feel like this app really shows how advanced and new our technology has grown from. Even so much of knowing that people were probably just learning how to play guitar from watching YouTube to know the best and most efficient way of learning how to play in a self-teaching at home method. 

This article, although short, gives a good overall summary of the uses of the app. A lot of the extra information you would have to actually use and download the app to see any extra features and overall "gameplay". 

On one side, a classic/old-school guitarist may strongly despise of this teaching method. Having strong views on being taught from a true professional or guru on this subject, which may in some cases be necessary. On the other, more modern side, this may be the next big thing. Someone stuck in quarantine during the pandemic may have found their new passion on this app. And would strongly suggest it to someone they may know looking to learn how to play. Especially if they maybe don't have access to a mentor to learn from.

I use Shazam everyday. I think this is incredible. Most of my music in apple library come off Shazam’s. I’ve seen celebrities use Shazam on Instagram live videos where somebody is listening to a song and they want to know who’s it by. This is also a good way to find new artist to listen to and add to your daily playlist. I’m a indie artist and I’ve seen my songs Shazam over 50 times and I’ve gained a lot of new daily and monthly listeners. Apple is winning big with this.

Copyrights at its fullest potential for artist. This will allow for more than just intangible proceeds for the artist.
