Hi, I'm a hard working 1st year electrical engineering student who's immensely intersted in commercial music (eg pop, rock, hip hop, dance, r'n b).

I have an extremely hectic daily schedule and general life. I would like to supplement my academic life with some deep knowledge and insight into all aspects of commercial music from how it is made, to how the industry operates. I spend about 3-4 hours a week on the subject and my eventual long term goal is to aquire the ability to create exellent commercial music.

My dream is to become a famous musical artist. The only way I think I can achieve this is by teaching myself what its all about and eventually be able to create a demo tape (or an mp3) entirely by myself (with limited resources like a PC and maybe a synthesiser).

Sounds quite far feched I know but I'm quite determined.

The internet seems to be the logical place to go for all the information I need. Its convienient and my life prioprities aren't too distorted.

Okay the question is: Can someone please advise me about what sort of approach I need to take in order to maximise my musical abilities by using the net? I realise that the wealth and magnituide of info is much and too big to spend all day surfing trough mostly useless sites. ALL my resources can ONLY be found on the net so WHERE DO I START and how do I DEVELOP as a self-instructor??

Thank you for devoting your time to reading this. I really appreciate it and who knows, I might be thanking you when I recieve a grammy (!)

Cheers

Simon
