So I had a little meet with the Editor-In-Chief and head of the guitar department at Hal/Leonard today, who is the worlds largest music publishing company, which is located right here in Wisconsin.
I had been talking to the guitar instructor at school about him because he had suggested that I do transcribing for them since he seemed like I was doing a good enough job. I mean hell, I transcribed and arranged a song from The Lion King 2 for piano, keyboards, bass, guitar, and full choir with lead voice, along with the final score from the movie Broken Arrow, not to mention some of the jazz tunes that I am having to learn for my funk band as well as a few solo’s for some peoples.
So Steve put the word in to Jeff, who is the head of the guitar dept. at Hal/Leonard, and as luck would have it, he was here doing a presentation for the Music Business class, so I met with him, showed him some of the work, and it seemed like he was impressed so he said he would shoot me an e-mail this week about getting to his office and having a meeting with a few guys at the company about the job. he also ended with “Well, we’ll give it a shot and see what happens.”
So hopefully this goes through and I get this transcribing job. Not only would it be a big opportunity for me, it would be one for this site as well.
