I love watching YouTube videos when I need help with something music related (or really for anything!). One channel in particular is Rick Beato's. I've learned a ton from him. I also have my old Music Theory books when I need to reference something in that realm. Otherwise, chord progression flow charts and Circle of Fifths are tools I use quite a bit. In the realm of recording and mixing I have 'The Recording Engineer's Handbook' and 'The Mixing Engineer's Handbook.' These are both ESSENTIAL books for anyone getting into the realm of audio production!

 

Youtube has definitely been a big help for me!

Excellent recommendation for chord progressions! Definitely great to beyond the I - IV - V! 

[Visual Chord Progressions for All Keys]

This chart is a great tool for visualizing and creating chord progressions using the harmonic scale. Note that this is not the same as the circle of fifths.

Hi everyone what are your favorite resources and tools for learning your craft? I have been using this wall poster for referencing guitar chord fingerings. I also have the keyboard chord poster as well and it helps so much to save time instead of flipping through chord books!

[What is your biggest singing struggle?]

Breath management was my biggest sticking point. Tension at work really affected me until I started meditating and learning to relax

[How Do You Keep Emotion?]

Meditation practice throughout the day really helps. 10-15 min sessions, nothing too marathon like

[The Spine: You're Using It Wrong (Posture For Musicians)]

very informative! thank you!

[Singers! About developing style..]

Definitely helps to be in a good headspace in the beginning. I find right after a hot shower is the best time to work on styling
