This is an excellent set of sheets which will cover nearly all of the concepts you would in an undergraduate curriculum (well, besides all of the homework in 4-part writing and roman numeral analysis...) If you are studying theory, or compo

I have experimented with influencers for a notebook that I sell. It has been a mixed bag, but mostly unprofitable. My target audience is musicians - not lifestyle bloggers - so the people I've tried to work with don't quite have

This is super interesting! I started selling my own notebook (not a diary) for musicians in February this year, and went through many of the same steps of trying to find a physical print shop without knowing anything about paper. I learned

Haha, I used that example because I myself aspire to become a better jazz musician. I play the saxophone and, shameless plug, sell notebooks (themusiciansnotebook.com)

Would love that! Lots of folks have been asking for a guitar tab version, so if you think there's opportunity then I have a few ideas myself. What's the best way to reach you? jay@themusiciansnotebook.com
