Common questions

Where do these music ideas come from?

They come from a fixed list of 212 real ideas. Every card on this page is one of the 18 ideas the bank tags music.

How many music ideas does each person get?

Six ideas ride in each private link, inside the group budget. Picks tagged music are ranked first inside their budget band.

What if my budget band has few music ideas?

The $50-$100 band holds three music ideas. A link in that band fills the rest of its six with other ideas from the same band.

What about a young musician?

Three cards on this page are picked for young musicians. They sit in their own section, labeled for young musicians.

Are the budget bands exact prices?

No. Budget bands are guides, not exact prices. The site links to no stores, sells nothing, and takes no payment.
