A new website called MusicCareers.net hit the web on May 1, 2002 after an entire year of planning and development. The idea originally stemmed from a topic that was presented to GuitarNoise.com. GuitarNoise.com has successfully been teaching guitar online since 1995. This topic was seen as being too large to deal with in the scope of its parent site, so a new site was approved. Optimism about the success of MusicCareers is fueled by GuitarNoise's other successful spin-offs: The Other Side, GuitarNoise Canada, and GuitarNoise China.

Early on, the focus of GuitarNoise.com was primarily on teaching beginners how to play guitar because that's where the demand was. But as those beginners developed into intermediate players and beyond their questions and needs became less about how to play guitar and more about how to make a career out of playing. Yet, as evolved as GN became, it was clear that an entirely new site was still needed.

MusicCareers.net will focus more on the working side of a life in music. While there is a strong interest among young musicians on how to "make it" in the business, this website will also deal with some nontraditional music careers. Also, to keep the perspective broad we will include a wide variety of reviews and interviews as well as links to as many valuable resources as we can find.
