Starting with an overview of the music-playing business by covering the different types of work available for different instruments, this text then proceeds with all the specifics. From rehearsing and life organization, to what song to play first at a dance—it’s all there. Included in the appendices is a word-for-word script for running weddings, a 55 step home application program for starting a group and getting it working, and a 58 step freelancing program.
How To Make A Living As A Musician... is the most thorough and easy to use music-playing business book on the market. It fills in the missing information about what it really takes to make a living playing music. Musician’s, singers, booking agents, teachers and teens are currently using this one-of-a-kind book because it is street-smart and success oriented.
While doing further research to find a book that actually answered the many questions my students had been asking, I found books on songwriting, getting record deals, playing instruments and other related topics. Fine. Good information. But there was nothing that actually provided a clear road map that took a person from amateur to pro, with an overview of all the instruments, styles of music, and exactly what it took.
By that point I decided to write and publish a book.
So, I put together some surveys, discovered what people wanted to know, and wrote it up. I also surveyed my musician peers, and those higher in the biz than myself, to ensure I covered as many bases as I could. (In addition to my own professional and educational knowledge, I wanted to know what they considered the most important things an upcoming musician needed to know.)
As I wrote, gigged and taught I studied typesetting, book design, computers, printing and publishing.
Add a professional book editor, lot’s of proof readers, a graphic designer for the cover, long hours, and a lot of help from my friends... and you get a book with some new answers to some old questions.
