The Savvy Musician: Building a Career, Earning a Living & Making a Difference Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a music professor, this book has become required reading for all of my students. In fact, I recommend this book to everyone- professionals, amateurs, and students alike. The vignettes are fantastic, the writing style is enjoyable, and the content is superb. This book created a starting point for our department's recent creation of a music business emphasis.
As a clinician on the topic of entrepreneurship for college students, this book is a primary resource and top suggestion for each and every workshop I present. The outstanding material in this book hits home.
Since my sophomore year of college in 1994, I've never held a job that wasn't teaching or performing music. I take great pride in this fact, and encourage others to do so as well. Thinking creatively, never making excuses, and reminding one's self on a daily basis just how lucky we are to be musicians has made this possible. This book provides all of the inspiration and substance to guide others to a successful career in music.
