MyGigNet Virtual Site - Musician/Band Profile Survey

[NOTE: As services expand, this survey should expand with it]

The purpose of this survey is to find out how MGN can assist you and/or your band to achieve your career goals, whether it be in education, artistic accomplishment, or professional performance. This survey will be represented a "Profile," and every point in this Profile will be served in some way by MyGigNet services by directly offering to you information and opportunities specifically relevant to the desires and goals you specify here--as MGN acquires this information, it is instantly provided to you within your Profile.

For example, you indicate you wish for your band to tour within a 500-mi. radius of your hometown. MGN will provide you with a constant up-to-the-minute rundown on all gig opportunities specifically for your kind of band within that area, and offer itinerary-creation tools, calendaring, venue liaision, contract preparation and promotion strategies (and much more).

Say, for example, you would like to teach beginning guitar lessons to 9-12 year olds. MGN will offer minute-by-minute referrals for students in that category, promotional opportunities for teaching children, school liaision, syllabuses, curriculum ideas, and mentoring from leading teachers who teach guitar to this age group, as well as much more.

You can change your Profile at anytime by clicking on the SetUp link within the Profile, and checking or un-checking the relevant boxes that represent what you want to do with your music career.
