Pros share their knowledge about the art and business of music: "An insightful and timely roadmap for one's career." —Gregory Generet, jazz vocalist In this guide, professional musicians tell how they developed as artists, how they approach performance, and how they handle the business side of the business—offering not only practical wisdom but 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. In addition, a special self-evaluation lets you assess whether you have what you need to succeed in the music business.
