The Musician’s Way – new book


There’s a new book out by University of North Carolina School of the Arts professor Gerald Klickstein designed to help musicians develop core skills needed for a career in music. Titled The Musician’s Way, this book covers topics like the following (from the companion website for the book):

  • Enhance practice and performance skills
  • Expand musical knowledge
  • Overcome performance anxiety
  • Foster creativity
  • Collaborate amicably
  • Build music careers
  • Boost health and prevent music-related injuries
  • Become productive artists

This book looks like a nice complement to David Cutler’s The Savvy Musician, a new book designed to help musicians build entrepreneurial skills that we featured in a recent podcast. We also chatted recently about similar topics with James Knabe, a Chicago-area musician who specializes in developing websites for musicians.
