300 Posts of Thought-Provoking Musical Advice: Milestone Announcement
Dear readers, I’m happy to announce the significant milestone of posting my 300th blog article:
- Years ago, the Successful Music Student blog started as just one blog category and has now expanded to seven categories.
- Through these seven categories I’ve been able to share musical advice and information on a wide variety of topics.
- I’ve tried my best to provide you with well searched, thought-provoking articles that would help you grow in your understanding of music.

300 Posts of Thought-Provoking Musical Advice: Stats
The 300th post is:
The first Successful Music Student article was uploaded on October 7th, 2020, and the 300th was uploaded on July 18th, 2024, spanning:
- 1380 days or …
- 197 weeks or …
- 45 months or …
- 3.75 years
The breakdown of the number of articles by blog category at the time of the 300th post:
- All-Purpose Tips & Topics = 65
- Color Coding & More = 54
- Intonation & More = 42
- News, Updates, & Milestones = 15
- Shape Notes & Solfege = 42
- Singing in Tune & More = 41
- The Craft of Songwriting = 41
The All-Purpose Tips and Topics category is the clear winner, despite being the newest blog category, because it’s a catch-all category that allows for a much broader range of topics.
In addition, when I first started the Successful Music Student I posted once a week on Saturdays, and now I post twice weekly on both Mondays and Thursdays.
