It\u2019s Back to School Season, and What Better Time to Consider Joe Lamond\u2019s Mantra, MSFQ? NAMM<\/a> has a big push behind this buzz phrase, and they are right to put their energy there. Music lessons are the heartbeat of any future the music business hopes to have, whether that\u2019s on a porch in the South with your uncle, or in a bunker-style studio in Virginia. Music lessons are the key to sustaining growth in the music industry.<\/p>\n

So, Let\u2019s Examine the Idea MSFQ More Closely, Beginning with \u201cMore to Start\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Consider for a moment what would happen if the entire music industry completely united and embraced the understanding that a well-organized, deeply creative, music industry ad campaign could change the future of how music is perceived. That movement could possibly alter the future of the music industry. Too difficult, you think? Too expensive, maybe? Ultimately, I wonder what the cost is if we keep sitting on our hands?<\/p>\n

Think about what would happen if the top leadership in the music industry got behind the idea of a united push to get more people learning how to play music. What if the big guns got the \u201cbig musician guns\u201d on board and behind the idea? What would the impact be if everyone got on board with an organized central message that\u2026 music is that important.<\/p>\n

Before you kick me to the curb, think about two words, one phrase: \u201cGot Milk?\u201d That ad campaign changed the world of advertising and united everyone across the globe around one simple idea. A world without milk would be an unbearable place. The dairy industry got behind the ad campaign and came up with lots of very clever ads to demonstrate the idea of having no milk, and how awful life would be without it. Using the many talents in the music industry and composing ads using spectacular music, we could easily contrast the \u201csilence\u201d of a world without music.<\/p>\n

Unified Messaging Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are plenty of great examples of big companies doing great ad campaigns. Yamaha\u2019s commercials are amazing. The video played at the opening of Yamaha\u2019s performance at last year\u2019s NAMM show left the audience spellbound. And NAMM\u2019s music campaigns are also world-class. All the big music industry players push into the message, but the difference in the \u201cGot Milk?\u201d campaign is that it is one unified message.<\/p>\n

It is now time for the music industry to realize we can\u2019t get enough new musicians to come on board without unity in our message. We should follow the lead of the dairy industry. I know \u2013 I\u2019m crazy, right? Or am I right, and the industry is crazy not to realize that it\u2019s our responsibility to grow our industry together as a united coalition? Big minds can accomplish unique things.<\/p>\n

Now Let\u2019s Look at \u201cFewer to Quit\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This topic is the place where the music industry is really coming up short, and this time it\u2019s the individuals that need to improve. We live in a time of \u201cquick and easy,\u201d and we already know that learning to play music has stigmas attached to it, but you can\u2019t cheat the system on a skill-based endeavor.<\/p>\n

Qualified teachers and quality musicianship honestly matter. To dumb-down learning to play music for fast profits or calling ourselves experts when we simply aren\u2019t is doing the music industry a disservice. It\u2019s certainly doing burgeoning musicians a disservice, and that can force students to quit.<\/p>\n

I want to stress I am on the same page with those who believe learning music should be fun, but I also think the students would benefit more if we kept history in the discussion. This then puts the focus back on the teachers to know their music history and not just knowing \u201cchops\u201d for the sake of impressing a student or making a buck.<\/p>\n

What other subject represents the sound of history as clearly as music? Music is the soundscape of history. You need to look no further than Marvin Gaye\u2019s \u201cWhat\u2019s Going On\u201d or Dion\u2019s \u201cAbraham Martin and John\u201d to understand my point. We shouldn\u2019t sacrifice craft or quality for expedience or profit. We need to come clean and let this truth be known: fast profit does not trump expertise in the long run.<\/p>\n

But here is where the industry is truly losing the MSFQ game. In today\u2019s market we have embraced and accepted an odd distribution system where a non-interactive video takes the place of a mentor and that\u2019s an inequitable currency exchange. When a music student saves a few bucks by having a \u201cthis is more convenient and cheaper\u201d mindset, we have lost the true essence and value of real music education. Therefore, students quit lessons because their interest is not held. It\u2019s not just what you teach; it\u2019s how.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time for musicians, educators and manufacturers to push back and voice the idea that knowing the skills of music matters, ear training matters, music history matters, performance quality matters, but more importantly, as a student of music, you matter! It should be our pledge to embrace quality in music education, just as we do with overseeing quality in our music products.<\/p>\n

More to Start, Fewer to Quit: It\u2019s a philosophy, a commitment, and an actionable item. That\u2019s what makes the idea so lofty. Like Joe Lamond, I believe it\u2019s an idea whose time is NOW.<\/p>\n
