From Library Journal
Violist Uscher here presents a practical, no-nonsense guide for musicians interested in advancing their careers. She lists available national and international resources, pointing out that musicians must be aggressive in seizing opportunities that are available. Enlivened by accounts of Uscher's own experiences, the text covers such topics as what to expect in auditions, seeking support from various organizations, marketing, recording, and even executive search firms. Helpful appendixes provide additional listings of out-of-the-mainstream university programs, resources on grants and philanthropy, competitions, writing, publishing, and radio stations abroad. This is a handy guide that musicians will want to keep nearby.
