Book Description

July 1, 2005
Professional musicians tell how they developed as artists, how they approach performance, and how they handle the business side of the business—offering solace and heartfelt inspiration along the way. How to Grow as a Musician is packed with candid advice on everything from overcoming failure to the art of writing a song to doing that all—important "ego check." It also covers such vital practical areas as the role of contracts, self—promotion, getting and keeping gigs, and managing money. A special self—evaluation lets readers assess whether they have what they need to succeed in the music business.

• From the author of Allworth Press's The Quotable Musician: From Bach to Tupac (1-58115-263-9)

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It was informative, easy to read and a fascinating glimpse at the life of being a musician in this country. The different genres of music represented in this book , from gospel to classical, made it well-rounded as well.
