I just finished reading “All You need to Know About the Music Business“. It was a real insight to how nasty the music industry can be. Donald Passman really did a nice job on this book, making boring subjects entertaining. In the book he goes over:

• Managers and all of the people you might someday be working with
• Record deals and all the confusing numbers that go with the music business
• Songwriting and copyright
• Group issues
• Touring
• Merchandising
• and more…

I really like having this book lying around because when I don’t feel like playing I can pick it up and still learn something music related. This is a very valuable resource for anyone interested in someday becoming a professional musician.

5 stars
