Among the many practical skills you'll learn are: developing an entrepreneurial mindset understanding your musical marketplace separating yourself from the pack navigating professional relationships maintaining your artistic integrity while striving for financial success Also included are inspiring stories from musicians who found their own paths to success. Perfect for music students just entering the professional world or for anyone considering a career in music-and a helpful read for non-musicians and old pros, too
