I chose to attend the general interest meeting for in joining the NYMIA because already have a great amount of interest in music creation and the music industry itself. I’ve always wondered about the business aspect of the music industry, but never took the time to research it. Therefore, I felt that this club would be a good thing to attend, for I thought that I’d be able to learn more about the music industry. I was assured that this would be done by the president of the club, and things began to look promising for the club. The board members for the club all looks enthusiastic and passionate about the club, which made me feel good about the quality of the club. Regarding my passion for creating music, the club promises half off for renting out the music studio, which is really good for someone like me who isn’t trying to spend $40 an hour to use a professional studio. I plan on getting involved by coming on the days the club meets that interests me, such as the Music Mixer day which has the members of the club get to know each other and find out what they all do musically and see if they can collaborate. I’ve always looked for a female singer to be featured in one of my songs, so I’m hoping to find a girl like this at the club. I also might try and perform on open mic night. Performing in front of a live audience has always been a dream of mine, so I feel I should jump at this opportunity to make my dreams turn into reality. In addition, I may attend Karaoke day at the club so I can have fun with the group members and take a day to relax with them. As of now, I’m excited for what NYMIA has in store for me as a first time member.
