Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
In its third edition, this affordable guide to careers in the music industry provides updated information on 86 skilled and unskilled jobs for college, music school, and high school graduates. The jobs explored involve conducting, record producing, concert promoting, marketing, and disc jockeying, among other skills. Occupational titles within 12 thematic sections vary from music journalist, recording engineer, and business manager to tour coordinator and instrument repair and restoration specialist. The guide is organized along the lines of Barbara Sims-Bell's Career Opportunities in the Food and Beverage Industry (LJ 6/15/94), by the same publisher. Each two-page entry is introduced by a "career profile" and a "career ladder" containing ready-reference data with description; salary ranges; employment and advancement prospects; education and training; desirable experience, skills, and personality traits; best geographical location; unions and associations; and tips for entry. This work, which is arranged in no apparent order, would have been more accessible if alphabetized first by chapter and then by occupation. Useful appendixes include listings of college and university degree programs in music; related books and periodicals; and major industry players and organizations with names, addresses, and telephone numbers. For career collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars a must-have book!, April 4, 2000
By Doc Kane (musicbusinesspage.com - Twin Cities) - See all my reviews
This is perhaps the singular most important book for those who want a career in the music industry and love music but don't exactly know what they want to do yet. I've had my copy for years now and I can honestly say it helped me find a place in the music industry and continues to generate interest for me in new areas. I am constantly referring it to others. . .again, a must-have book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, May 19, 2006
Opportunities in the music business are few and far between and so a begginer might get lost in the multitude of scams and dead ends that litter the road to fortune. A guide is something that al novices need when stating such a demanding adventure and this book provides all the necessary information some needs to have a shot at success. You'll get all the inside information on emerging and collapsing companies, plus tips on how to get accepted into a mega corporation and an insiders guide to the first interview. So if you want something that will get you through even the toughest of obstacles, this is the right title for you.
