Filled with clearly articulated concepts, detailed strategies, and 165 vignettes about actual musicians working to create a meaningful and prosperous career, this book examines critical elements often overlooked or misunderstood by musicians, and helps you take control of your career. Discover how to build an immediately recognizable brand, capitalize on technology--from Internet tools to the new recording paradigm, expand your network, and raise money to fund your dreams. The Savvy Musician is an invaluable resource for performers, composers, educators, students, administrators, industry employees, and others interested in a thriving musical future.As a jazz and classical composer, pianist, instructor, arranger, conductor, collaborator, concert producer, author, blogger, consultant, speaker, advocate, and entrepreneur, David Cutler has a diverse career. In all of his endeavors, he strives to push boundaries while engaging new audiences. His varied work reflects his musical universe as a multidimensional composer who listens to a vast range of styles. His music frequently incorporates interdisciplinary elements, and his piano playing is as diverse as his compositions, pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a pianist. Improvisation, humor, audience participation, dance, technology, costume, innovative collaborations, and secondary instruments are all frequently used in performances.
