| by Josquin Des Pres and Mark Landsman. Musically talented people of all levels can find profitable careers in today’s cutthroat music industry with this definitive guide. Readers will learn how the business really works, as this updated edition offers a broad survey of key role players—from songwriters to producers, solo artists to band members—and describes what each role entails on a day-to-day basis. Each career is fully described, from the skills and training required, to daily activities, improving skills, targeting the right markets, and finding sources of income. The book takes a thorough and real-life look at today’s record business, detailing the pros and cons of starting your own label, the differences between major- and independent-label careers, and where and when to find professional help. An entirely new section details how musicians can create an Internet presence for themselves, as well as protect themselves from piracy and profit from file sharing technology. Also included is a helpful discussion of copyright registration, royalties, foreign rights, and publishing deals, as well as a look at technological changes in the industry and emerging markets. 6 X 9, 240 pages; Paperback, ISBN 1-58115-382-1. |
