On Thursday September 7th, 2017, I attended the NYMIA (New York Music Industry Association) club. The club focuses mainly on the factors that make up the music industry and give people insight on how the world of music business works. The club not only does that, it also gives musicians a chance to come together and maybe jam together, start a band, etc. My first impression of the club was I found it relaxing and easy-going. What I mean is that it didn’t feel as if I had to come to every meeting and sacrifice my social and academic life in order to prove to the members that I was fully involved. The people there seemed fully invested in their roles within the club and all seemed very comforting from start to finish. The president of the club assured us that this club wasn’t going to force us to come to every meeting and do every event they plan, instead, she said that we should be present at our own leisure. My method of becoming involved with NYMIA will mostly consist of mingling with other incoming members and to make new friends. Who know? maybe I’ll form a band and create tons of songs with the others. I can try to help promote the annual festival NYMIA puts together and hopefully I’ll try to perform there too! Overall, NYMIA seemed like a promising club to be apart of and I can’t wait to see what it has in store for me.
