I had no idea that the internet, and how you can use it was so intense.  I understand that it is a very useful tool for finding information, and that many company's use it to their advantage for advertisement, etc.  But I had no idea how many tools an everyday person using the internet could have, and use at their disposal.  His presentation gave me a ton of ideas that I plan on utilizing on my website, and keep track of who, and how many people are actually interested, and checking out my website, myspace, etc.  He definitely knows his stuff, and I feel confident that if I had any questions, that he would be happy to help, and know exactly what I need to move my website, or other internet issues along.  And since he is always on the top of what's new in the industry, he's a good source to get new ideas for a website, or how you structure your goals and ideas, and make them look professional.  He was a very good guest for the class, and would recommend him for future classes.

Dessa

So, Dessa seems like a walking encyclopedia of knowledge for people trying to get their career in the music industry started up.  Her idea of a press list was honestly something I never even considered, and it's so easy to accomplish.  Her steps and advise are very helpful, and I can definitely tell why she has made it as far as she has, regardless of talent.  She is just good with the business, and savvy.  I will definitely use her ideas in trying to get my material out there once I feel that I am happy with my material.  I would recommend anybody sit down and talk with her, regardless of what field they are pursuing. 

Sean Mcpherson

I was quite impressed with Sean's lecture.  I had no idea that he was so involved in the industry.  He gave very good advise in finding your strengths and weaknesses.  This pertains to just about every field of study, and I think that if more people were to really sit down, and think of what they are really good at, and what they have always struggled at, they will understand more deeply what they should focus on.  What kind of projects they should take on, and what kind of work they should hand over to other people.  It's good to see that he has a definite grasp on what his goals are, and where he is going.  It's inspiring.
