Come vendere una canzone

Anche se inizialmente intendevamo scrivere di come diventare un cantautore o una cantautrice professionista, alla fine abbiamo pensato che un articolo del genere avrebbe coperto molti suggerimenti di cui avevamo già parlato in precedenza (e che ormai siamo sicuri/e che tu conosca), come mettere a frutto il tuo talento, conoscere la teoria musicale di base o costruire connessioni preziose.

Come puoi intonare la tua canzone? Tutto questo lo troverai in questo articolo!
