Jay,

Have you thought about forming a nonprofit corporation? This would be the typical vessel for arts/education related tax free entities that are allowed to recieve tax deductable donations.

Perhaps an original film score is needed for a local independent film. Another Idea might be FedBizOps, get into the Govt procurement chain and maybe you can land a tour with the USO.

You've got a tough question there. Personally I'd try the got-it-alone method, get something recorded and published, then sell it on the internet until there's enough money to sustain more activity.

I don't know if any of this was helpful, but good luck!
