The Musician's Handbook: A Practical Guide to Understanding the Music Business

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Reveals over 35 inspirational and proactive strategies for pursuing a successful career in the music industry.

From the Author
NOTE: The Musician's Handbook investigates the realities of the music business behind the glamorous fantasy world often portrayed in the media. It is designed to help you to understand the ins and outs of the music industry. At times it will seem harsh. But the more aware you are of the potential obstacles in your path, the better prepared you will be to overcome them. Whether you're out on the road, or just getting ready to cut your first record, it pays to be armed with as much ammunition as possible. Perhaps these quotes from Sun Tzu's The Art of War, an ancient Chinese strategy adapted by leading business professionals today, will illustrate this point:

"Know yourself and know your enemy and you will fight a hundred battles without disaster."

"Know the ground, know the weather; your victory will then be total."
