Christelle,
I don't know if you have any interest in this, but I Gooooogled "submit a demo" and the search turned up a lot of of results.

Here are a few:

http://www.musicouch.com/Music-Making/Recording/How-to-Submit-a-Demo-to-Get-a-Record-Deal.117780

http://www.allureinc.com/unsignedbandsubmission.html “You can submit your demo and media kit via US Mail or if your music and/or kit is posted somewhere online, we can also review it on the web when you send us the URL (web link).”

I know that the biggest sellers are those with singers, but there is a market for instrumentals, too. For this niche, your playing would sell. You're too damn good to just sit in your room recording for You Tube, although You Tube would still be a good way to draw attention to any CDs you might record someday.

(I post comments on You Tube as "geneftw.")

It's too soon to carry on a conversation about this, because she hasn't responded, yet. She's in France, so she must be sound asleep at this time. But I just can't help myself.

What if she wants to market her music to the world? Who would she market it to? We as harp players know how good she is and we appreciate it, but the world wants singers. The niche for instrumentals is small and very segmented. Would she need a band or just session player from a recording studio?

How 'bout movie soundtracks? Commercials?

Oh, whatever...

HEY CHRISTELLE!!!
You have no choice in this matter! We're taking you to a studio!!!...or something.........C'MON, GUYS....LET'S GET 'ER!!!!!!!!
(battle cry): YHAAAAAIIIEEEE!!!!!!!

...And an army of harp players and You Tube fans charge into her room through her computer monitor, carry her out from a sound sleep over our heads and into the real world. We drag Britney Spears off stage and set Christelle in her place...(oops...dressed only in her...uhm...Oh, well.)
"Ladies and gentlemen, Now for some REAL talent and beautiful music: CHRISTELLE!!!!!!!!!!!"

Hi Guys, thanks a million for this effort to try to extract me from the bedroom you can see on youtube. I'm not always in this one I'm playing outside as well.


I'll study all the links you've provide seriously and I'll give you some feedback on this...

Again I'm really touched by all of you.

I played your Star Spangled Banner for my mother (a few times!). Then I played another one of your songs. Then another...and another...and another....Anyway (She's old and doesn't really understand what You Tube is.), She asked me to write your name for her so she could buy some of your records. ;)
