Many people are already planning to venture the world of music production which is why if we are an aspiring music artist then we must keep in mind that we have a lot of competitors. Entering the music industry does not only mean that we have to be the music icons that perform in front of other people. We can choose to be the type of musician who works behind the scenes or just in the background. All of us have our own preferences. Some may dream to be on the spotlight while others like to preserve their private life. Belonging to the second type, I would like to venture the music industry by just creating tones and other components of music. Being a music icon is definitely out of the picture. In a music production school, we will be educated on how music does its wonders. Instructors will teach us regardless of what level of fame we aim to achieve. Their main goal is to teach us how sacred and liberated music can be all at the same time. Studying in this school will give us greater chances of landing on the music profession that we want to have in the future. Attending a school such as this makes opportunities wider since we can acquire not only knowledge on music but also connections to those who are prominent in the music industry. Thus, this is one way of leading ourselves to the path of success as a music artist.

I love writing different literary genres especially stories of love, comedy and tragedy. I enjoy seeing my master pieces performed by my classmates in school plays. I even have a compilation of monologues to where I express my wildest imaginations on love affairs and irony of life. Many say I’m a good actress and director for I always play the role of an actress and a director in school theatrical acts. Well, an actress and a director? Why not! Since I can be both, maybe I can make it to Hollywood. It sounds an impossible dream, right? But who knows I really can make it! “Patience is a virtue,” and I should try to start in enrolling myself to one of the most competent film schools in Los Angeles. Among many film schools in the country, why in Los Angeles? I personally prefer to be there since it is where the big stars are and making movies is everybody’s concern there. It’s good to be in a place where everything convenient is at hand. Seeing people shooting films in different section there is just a common sight. So meaning to say, film making there has already rooted and established when it comes to modern techniques and technologies. I’m affirmatively sure that if I’ll enrol myself there, I will definitely shine and make known myself in the industry. We never can tell, few years from now, I will be directing my own film with me of course as the leading actress.

My mother and I have always loved to explore options. We operate a 24 hour pastry and coffee shop nearby. We have managed to maintain our business and have a few patronizing customers throughout the years. It is only recently that we realized that we need to expand our business and exceed what we have already achieved. We want to make our business known not just because it open 24/7 but we want it to have a distinct label; something that will make a lasting impression to the people which will make them wanting to come back and get some more. Our pastries are only limited to some known ones already so what we did is that we experimented on a couple of recipes that our grandmother had. My grandmother’s recipes were just epic and delicious but we just need to make our own too aside from perfecting hers. We spend a hefty 2 weeks inside our mini laboratory, also known as our kitchen, and formulated a really great recipe. And we did arrive at this very delicious pie that has everything in it a taste of chocolate and a whole lot more. I personally got addicted to it and our relatives too (which are by the way our food critics). We are doing business so the rightful thing to do is to call for a Los Angeles patent lawyer and have him arrange in our behalf the application to have the recipe patented. We are so excited to have our recipe out in our shop and have them tasted by our customers.

I can remember the time when we find out about the new Michael Jackson song when you hear it in the radio. Although news about music and artists are headlines in the United States, to some people in other countries back then, finding about their favorites can be a tedious task. During those days when the cable television was not yet available, we tune in to music channels and listen to the radio to listen to news about the music industry. But today, we get the news about an album release even though the recording has not yet started. We even get the songs even if they have not officially released the album. We are very thankful for the internet because we can now purchase songs online, while having a choice of buying the entire album or just what we want. Sometimes music news even come from artist themselves. With the social media network sites taking over, artists and fans are much more connected. Even producers and directors can now interact with fans from all over the world. And fans love the thought of talking to celebrities and the people behind the album. Now with current innovations, we can set our phones to receive news about everything we want, from theater schedule, television programs, or concert venue and dates. Applications are being created everyday to cater our needs for gaming and celebrity information. These are made available through cell phones, pads and computers. Surely, we can expect more advancement in technology paving the way to a more engaging entertainment experience.

Long gone are the days when a woman’s place was in the kitchen. The world we live in today has too many demands and it becomes necessary for both partners to chip in in the family’s financial kitty. That plus the fact that most women would not have it any other day means that most of the time, a house help in the home becomes necessary. While the couple goes out to work every morning, someone has got to be left behind to look after the small children. Even if there are no small children, there is need for a person to do the house chores and cook. In developed countries, finding decent help is not very difficult. Such a house help is usually conversant with most modern household appliances, knows how to read and write and can even be depended on to help the children with their homework. It I not the same in third world countries. Most of them have had no form of formal education whatsoever. Most of them also happen to come from very remote backgrounds where. That usually means that most electric appliances are new to them. They cannot operate even the most basic of appliances. They can also not offer any help with children’s homework and most of the time the young kids are usually way beyond them in many things. Therefore if a child were to ask them how to reset your msn password or how to find Hotmail login, they would not be of any help. And in spite of the fact that most people would not want to be told so, these little schooled people are the ones that take a big part of raising their kids. They might say that they do not employ them to raise the children but if these are the ones that are mostly at home with the kids while the parents are out working, would we call that. It is therefore important that every parent try to strike a balance between work and family or they might find that their children pick up every strange behaviour from every stranger who comes into their home as a house help and in the end, become very confused persons.

I have based my company on a product that I have developed and patented. It was a big surprise for me when I saw something very similar in the market. I had no idea what to do since it was the first time that I have encountered such. I was briefed by my lawyer about my intellectual property rights and about the ownership that I have with my product. From what I know, the law is dynamic. There might be amendments in Intellectual Property Law that I was not aware of.
Once again, I sought the help of my Patent Lawyer. I wanted to know how much of my idea can another person use and to what extent. I also wanted to know what to do to protect my work and fight for my ownership, but I wanted to make sure that the law is on my side before I take action. I needed an expert to help me evaluate everything. I needed someone with the experience to guide me with how to proceed. I needed a professional.
Thankfully, my lawyer was able to help me get through it. The process was a lot easier with someone that I can rely on working with me. I would never have learned the options I had without him. My intellectual property right is very important to me. My products are valuable to my business. My livelihood depends on it. Now I am assured of my rights and that I can be able to pursue them.

I have always been a fan of the music industry. They have really come a long way in reinventing the music from way back – the 70s to the modern day music that everybody is enjoying. I can still remember how music made a breakthrough in every life of the people. When it first entered the music scene and when the artists have finally come about. Everyone has been enjoying it ever since. I too have been a witness to this blossom. My father had been very active in the music scene and so as my uncle. Together they have put up a conjugal business and are still one of the most listened to radio station to date. I must say that I grew up with the music industry. I have witnessed on how it made a breakthrough not only with the music artists but also the music studio. Before, the process of making the music from scrap almost always had to be done manually but today with the advancement of technology everything is possible. I have read a lot of audio engineering school reviews in the internet because I want to take my skills to a higher level and improve them. Obviously, I mentioned that my father taught me a little bit about sound engineering but the problem is that times are changing and technology has really made changes in this arena. I guess I have to update and upgrade my skills so I can work on a lot of music studios.

I have a lot of friends who have the talent and skill in understanding sounds and music. They are now involved in a music organization in our university. I can see how they are very much into the organization just like the other members and I think what binds them is not just friendship and the idea that they are affiliated with a famous organization in school but because of their passion for music. Since I can play only the flute, and I am not really good at it, I cannot deeply understand how these friends of mine perceive those notes and sounds they interact with everyday especially during practice. However, whenever I think how I respond to the songs I love, I start to understand them a little bit. If ever they find themselves unable to see their future without a career in the music or audio industry, they must find audio engineering scholarships. They can do it online. There are a lot of institutions offering these scholarships and they are offered by several foreign schools. These scholarships can help my friends improve their talents and skills in music and sounds and the same time this is also a way on how they can understand the concept of sounds even better. I think that grasping the opportunities given by these scholarships can help shape a brighter future for my friends’ careers. However, they must still screen the scholarships that they encounter since not all are fit for their desires and needs.
