Do you know what your rehearsal should look like? Because how your rehearsals look is a huge part of how your live show will look! Almost every artist I know thinks “rehearsal” means going through your songs over and over again until you’ve got the music just right. Maybe they decide where to stand during [...]]]> http://www.onstagesuccess.com/2011/11/from-one-song-to-the-next/feed/ 3 http://www.onstagesuccess.com/2011/11/tom-jackson-webinar-owning-the-stage/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tom-jackson-webinar-owning-the-stage http://www.onstagesuccess.com/2011/11/tom-jackson-webinar-owning-the-stage/#comments Wed, 23 Nov 2011 20:56:18 +0000 Tom Jackson http://www.onstagesuccess.com/?p=12554

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I feel like folding up my tent and moving to a Caribbean island, completely forgetting about my career in music! I even have a lot of great things going on right now: a new book coming out, a Live Music Method Online Course just about ready to launch, [...]]]> http://www.onstagesuccess.com/2011/10/i-feel-like-quitting/feed/ 10 http://www.onstagesuccess.com/2011/10/persistence-perspective-priorities/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=persistence-perspective-priorities http://www.onstagesuccess.com/2011/10/persistence-perspective-priorities/#comments Tue, 18 Oct 2011 03:36:08 +0000 Tom Jackson http://www.onstagesuccess.com/?p=10865

I’ve done numerous rehearsals with one of the biggest artists in music today. Millions of records sold, huge tours, radio, TV, awards for everything from best artist to best video to best entertainer. And the awards keep coming. Rehearsals with this artist are always a joy – creative, lots of energy, ideas floating out of [...]]]> http://www.onstagesuccess.com/2011/10/a-loving-to-learn-attitude/feed/ 5 http://www.onstagesuccess.com/2011/10/no-such-thing-as-a-small-stage/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=no-such-thing-as-a-small-stage http://www.onstagesuccess.com/2011/10/no-such-thing-as-a-small-stage/#comments Tue, 04 Oct 2011 15:55:51 +0000 Tom Jackson http://www.onstagesuccess.com/?p=9322
Not long ago, I was having lunch with a new acquaintance/friend from Canada who was in Nashville for a couple days. He had seen my work, told me he’d become a fan, and asked me to work with a couple of his artists. At the end of our meeting, he mentioned there were two other [...]]]> http://www.onstagesuccess.com/2011/10/no-such-thing-as-a-small-stage/feed/ 1 http://www.onstagesuccess.com/2011/09/psychology-and-your-audience/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=psychology-and-your-audience http://www.onstagesuccess.com/2011/09/psychology-and-your-audience/#comments Tue, 20 Sep 2011 13:00:56 +0000 Tom Jackson http://www.onstagesuccess.com/?p=1454
Although a country audience is different than a heavy metal audience, which is different than a hip hop audience, which is different than a neo-classical metal punk fusion audience, which is different than….(you get my drift!), the concepts I teach about the live show are the same for every genre. And those concepts are extremely [...]]]> http://www.onstagesuccess.com/2011/09/psychology-and-your-audience/feed/ 1 http://www.onstagesuccess.com/2011/08/your-chance-to-get-onstage/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=your-chance-to-get-onstage http://www.onstagesuccess.com/2011/08/your-chance-to-get-onstage/#comments Wed, 24 Aug 2011 02:44:17 +0000 Tom Jackson http://www.onstagesuccess.com/?p=9286

When I work with a singer/songwriter on their show, I’m often dealing with a paradox. They know how to write great material for themselves or others, following the rules for song writing. They’ve indoctrinated themselves and formed their arrangements around the “hit song” writing machine that publishers and record labels have made the focus for [...]]]> http://www.onstagesuccess.com/2011/08/the-great-song-paradox/feed/ 2
