(1) Welcome to Jingle University and the world of "JINGLOLOGY " (Jingle-ol-ogy). I have had the honor of studying nearly all aspects of all those cute, creative and powerful jingles for over 35 years. I have written, arranged, produced, mixed and sold thousands of jingles of every length and style. Jingle University’s 21st Century on line presentation will truly open your eyes and ears to the fascinating and profitable world of musical jingles. In our first seven years of operation we were honored to enroll many dozens of students from the US and several foreign countries. Our student body includes songwriters, musicians, singers, audio producers and jingle collectors who have decided to enter the jingle business on a full or part time basis. In most cases these individuals have there own computer, small home studios and/or access to "outside" recording studios. Jingle University will give you the option of complete confidentiality. In addition, if you are currently employed at one of over 1000 existing jingle or production music companies world-wide you will have the advantage if you read Jingle University. If you work at a recording studio, a radio/TV/ or cable station, or an advertising agency Jingle University is a must in your drive toward advancement! It’s a great learning, training and reference tool. Learn the inner workings of all four types of jingle companies. Grasp it! It’s right there! Use this information to your advantage.
Jingle University explains the incredible world of jingles and commercial music production in layman’s terms. It provides you with valuable sample pricing projections, cost estimates and profit projections for new and existing jingle companies. Jingle University works great for those who start small and, of course, for those who start with fully professional home equipment and a healthy promotional budget.
The most significant change in the USA national and network commercial jingles business has been the conversion to using popular hit songs as “image themes” rather than the traditional “from scratch” original commercial singing jingle. Yes, companies like McDonalds, Oscar Meyer, State Farm, Dr. Pepper and Mr. Clean still use their long time famous jingles and/or themes, but the national trend to using hit songs has leveled off and may now be in a declining stage as large advertisers are clearly running out of appropriate hit songs. Potential JU students should note that – as large royalties must be paid for clearance fees for “hit song” usages – the local and regional commercial jingle business is still bustling with creative full 60/30 jingles or shorter 5 to 10 second “tag jingles” – Thus, the course materials in Jingle University are still valid and as strong as ever!
Jingle University is a one of a kind source revealing much of what was formerly unobtainable "inside information" on the jingle business. Good luck going to any bookstore or the Internet to find anything like it. Jingle University will be the needed "missing link" you need to use your creative drive to crank out those cute and catchy jingles that have made so many songwriters, musicians and singers rich!
Perhaps the most important point of becoming a JU student is taking advantage of my personal 3 year nearly unlimited email consultation service. I will help guide you through your study of the vast Jingle University password area and, even better, I will personally help you with the launching of your entire jingle and production music process. All you need to do is bring your creative musical skills to the table.
Finally, there is a way talented songwriters, musicians and singers can learn the "ropes" in order to potentially leapfrog all the way to Madison Avenue and the "streets" of LA, Dallas and Chicago. With the help of Jingle University you can actually begin making rewarding profits on a full or part time basis. Of course, you need to study your butt off, learn tons of stuff about the competition and most of all be creative.
Pay a fee of only $125.00 for enrollment
Receive 3 year password access to hundreds of on line pages of dynamic text, forms and photos Receive 5 fantastic Jingle University CD’s packed with examples (including one custom made for you) as a free bonus - and of greatest importance – Receive my 3 years of nearly unlimited email consultation. I will give you step by step guidance to your potential success in the jingle business.
The Real Deal also includes up to 3 years to take the option final exam. If you don’t want to go for the diploma you can read the final exam up front and even dig up the answers as you study the course. Note, most but not all of the JU year 2000-2004 students students have been so anxious to see (and learn from) the exam that they have "peeked" and elected to waive the right to the formalised diploma after 3 years. No problem! This way you can learn your specific segment of the jingle business and not have to "mentally dig" everything you need to pass the very tough "Jingle Doctor" exam. If you like, you can be in the jingle business in a matter of weeks. The choice is yours – fast or slow track!
If you have the inclination to learn about entering the jingle/commercial music business, Jingle University will amplify your potential to outsmart and be more creative than the competition with superior knowledge, timing and jingle street smarts. Jingle University covers many profitable strategies for a jingle business. Learn how to write jingles. Learn how to produce jingles. Learn how to sell jingles.

Up to this moment the thought of someday entering into your own jingle business may have seemed overwhelming.

Do you understand the power of the jingle? Dare to do something in life that will make your time on this planet more unique and flowing with creative satisfaction!

Jingle University will cover topics of great interest in the highly segmented musical jingle business. You will receive very valuable information to help protect the rights and interests of a full or part time jingle company.
