I suggest learning theory and learning how to read music - both provide a huge advantage over those who can't read and don't know music theory. Also try these: 1) LEARN MUSIC It is ALWAYS about the music - practice, learn everything you can about music theory and writing and reading music- this will make you much more employable than the dozens of hobbyists out there. Never ever stop learning and finding people to learn from...Vocal coach is a GREAT idea! 2) NETWORK - seek out and befriend people who make a living making music be they session players, band members, music executives (at labels, publishers, management companies or booking agents) or producer / engineers... The music business is all about your talent and who you know. In many cases people can get away with less talent if they know the right people and can convince them to participate in their projects. 3) PLAY and RECORD often. Play live, get basic home recording gear so you can preserve your ideas and share them with other people. Join a band or two - co-write with anyone and everyone who will let you. Start simple with open mic nights and work your way up. Meet and keep in contact with everyone you meet who is doing what you want to do (making a living making music I'm assuming)... 4) BE PROFESSIONAL. The music business if full of flakes. Don't be a dude (chick), there's a million dudes out there. Be a man (woman). 5) LEARN BUSINESS. Look at and learn all of the ways that money is made in the music business. A good starting point is Donald Passman's "all you need to know about the music business" - if you understand where the money comes from in the music business it will be much harder for people to take advantage of you...and they will try.

Let them know you would like to petition the City Council for your business proposition. They will then add you to the agenda before going before the council make sure you cross all of your I's and your T's. and discuss how your business will enhance the community and be sure to bring portfolios of your business proposals for each council member. Also, make sure you have a visual presentation of business proposal. Good Luck! If I were you I would contact the City Clerk of your town because they are the clerks for the City Council.
