GREAT ENTRY LEVEL BOOK,
By Gian Fiero (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Music Business 101:For Aspiring Producers, Writers, Musicians, Singers, And Future Record Moguls (Perfect Paperback)
Unlike many of the entry level books that now saturate the market and profess to offer advice on "how to succeed" in the music business, this book focusses on how the music business works. Written with a surprising blend of simplicity and sophistication that is greatly enhanced by the clean layout and clever use of graphics, it's a quick-read that can be used to help young, new or inexperienced music artists and professionals to define terms, learn the language of the business, understand all aspects of music industry operations, and the roles of the individuals who make it work. An absolutely fabulous must have reference book for those just starting out.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The ideal source,
By Danielle Fine (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Music Business 101:For Aspiring Producers, Writers, Musicians, Singers, And Future Record Moguls (Perfect Paperback)
It's truly amazing the amount of information inside this 190 page book. Being relatively new to the business side of music this book has been the ideal source for me. It covers every topic from simply getting started to maintaining a successful company.
My favorite thing about the book is the wording. The author doesn't make it hard to understand like many other books I've read. It's almost like your talking to a friend who has a great deal of knowledge on the ins & outs of music. I keep a copy of it everywhere I go and refer back to it time & time again. I believe anyone doing music will do the same!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great 4 Musicians,
