To all who want to write for music libaries such as AudioSparx, Pump Audio or Taxi, one of the best ways to learn what kind of music is wanted on television is to watch a lot of television shows and listen to the music. Did I shock you? It is on of the best ways to gauge what is selling as background music for tv. If you think your music doesn't fit, trust me, there is an audience for it.

How you get your music into the hands of a creative director or music supervisor of television? That is the job of the music library you join if you chose to join one. You can independently search for and contact music supervisors on you own. Be warned. It is a lot of hard work getting a song onto a cable or network program. You have a lot of competition. A lot.

The rewards, however, are worth it.
