There's something better - much better, and far more powerful than blindly sending your music out to every Publisher, Record Label or Film & TV Music Supervisor hoping they'd use your songs and instrumental tracks.
I'm going to share that with you in just a second, so keep reading. I promise not to waste your valuable time!
My name is Michael Laskow and I've been very fortunate to work in the music business for more than thirty years. I've engineered gold and platinum records, produced some amazing artists, and since 1992, have been the founder and CEO of TAXI, the world's leading independent A&R company. |

Also, I've created a very useful Twenty-Six Week Lesson Journal. Comprised of alternating assignment pages for teachers to post each week's lesson, and detailed weekly charts for students to keep accurate tabs of what they practiced and how much per day! This helps the teacher determine the student's progress, and if they are assigning too much or too little. It also helps the student and parents keep tabs on how effective their saxophone teacher is! (holding the teacher accountable! No more "just keep working on this etude and I'll see you at your next lesson" from mediocre teachers! It's a 2 way street!!! Teacher's gotta do their absolute best too!). Be efficient, know where everybody stands, chart improvement, keep records (a great almanac!), and you should notice improvement on your instrument! |

Unless you've been spelunking in a deep subterranean grotto for the last year, you know that Dean guitars are staging a comeback. Even vintage models from the late 1970s and early '80s are jumping up in value, thanks to Dimebag Darrell of Pantera, who until only recently was a steadfast Dean user (he now endorses Washburn). So who exactly is Dean? Meet Dean Zelinsky, probably the youngest man to ever start a successful guitar company. Dean made top-quality solidbody guitars and basses for nearly 14 years before getting out of the 6-string business altogether. Nevertheless, Dean axes were -- and still are -- played by many of rock's electric royalty. Now, in a rare interview, Mr. Zelinsky emerges from obscurity to skewer the industry and anything else that moves. Give this man a talk show! |

“These are the men who put brass music on the map: with their unbeatable blend of virtuosity, spontaneity and humor, they brighten the rosters of concert halls, international festivals and orchestra series throughout the world. Their numerous recordings, frequent television appearances and tireless efforts in the realm of music education have resulted in vast new audiences for the art of the Canadian Brass.” |

JAMES ORMSTON BURNS (1925 - 1998) has often been described as the 'British Leo Fender' a well-deserved and apt title because there are many parallels to be drawn between the two men.
Jim Burns too was very much a pioneer, and his policy of continual development and refinement reflected a constant quest to realise his vision of the ideal electric guitar. Distinctive design ideas were more than matched by accompanying hardware and circuitry and although some such aspects bordered on gimmickry, others offered genuine innovation, and have become accepted concepts, later to be claimed as firsts by other, more illustrious conveniently forgetful makers. |

Berg originally made his name as a professional musician and whilst not working, he could be found making reeds in Archer Street London.
In 1945, he designed and manufactured a range of ebonite mouthpieces for clarinet and saxophone which later evolved into a range made out of stainless steel for an increased lifespan.
Although Berg died in 1972, his name lives on and today, we can offer a wide variety of mouthpieces in various different materials and styles.
Today, the name Berg Larsen in synonymous with hand crafted mouthpieces for saxophones.
Skilled craftsmen use ten machining processes to create each Berg Larsen mouthpiece.
Every one is individually hand finished and inspected to ensure the Berg Larsen reputation
for quality is maintained.
As well as using a variety of materials in the construction of our mouthpieces, we have a comprehensive range of tip openings, so we can be sure that there is a mouthpiece for EVERYONE.
Berg Larsen Saxophone Mouthpieces are used by some of The Worlds top professional saxophonists |

My dear old freind and adviser Emile Grimshaw snr ( born October
1880 in Accrington, Lancashire)
was a banjo player in the early
1900s, he played in his own
quartet, and the highly respected
Savoy band. He made many
recordings and was well known for
his music and tuition books. Emile
Grimshaw jnr(Born 1904 Burnley,
Lancashire)) was also a very
skilled player and musician who
played with the Jack Hylton
orchestra(from May 1924 until
February 1929), and also
contributed to compositions which
were credited only to Emile
Grimshaw, so it is possible all
music was a joint effort. To add
to the confusion there was also
Monty Grimshaw(Emile snrs brother)
and Florence Grimshaw(Emile Snr,s
wife) who were both good
musicians. |

Why being a musician helps you stay young
Learning to play a musical instrument could offset the effects of aging a study suggests.
Middle-aged musicians excelled in memory and the ability to hear speech within background noise compared with non musicians
The study which focused on 45 to 65 year olds, also compared their auditory working memory visual working memory and auditory temporal processing – or the way the brain processes the sound
The musicians outshone the non musician group in all but visual working memory, where both groups had nearly identical ability, experts at the Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory at Northwestern University in the US Found.
Dr Nina Kraurs, who led the the study, said music training “fine tunes” the nervous system, resulting in senses being sharper in later life |

was founded by HyunKwon Park in April 1972 in the basement of his home, four people working in a 20 square metre area. In that early period, the company produced classical guitars for the Korean domestic market and these quickly earned a good reputation, mainly for their high quality of sound.
The company soon had to move to new, bigger premises in order to build enough guitars to fulfill the demand and, in 1978, it moved again, this time from Seoul to the new area of Yangju-gun.
At that time, the guitars were branded ‘Sungeum’ which means ‘accomplishing the sound’ and this is still a well known brand in the Korean market, today. HyunKwon’s ambition was always to supply instruments to guitar players throughout the world, however, so he then started to make acoustic and electro-acoustic guitars which had more international appeal. |

In the late 1940s, M Hohner Ltd was established in the UK to become the exclusive importer and distributor of Hohner musical instruments. It traded from a number of locations in the London area for almost four decades before relocating to the site that Sutherland now occupies at Bedwas, near Caerphilly, in 1987. |
