The Musician's Lifeline

Peter Erskine and Dave Black present their combined knowledge gained through their lives in music. It includes advice from 150 of the best musicians, such as Gordon Goodwin, Nathan East, Janis Siegel, Christian McBride, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Gary Burton, Kenny Werner, Steve Smith, and so many more, who responded to seven simple questions about topics like sight-reading, travel, warm-ups, networking, preparing for auditions, and general wisdom. The answers will surprise, inform, and confirm what you already know - or completely contradict what you've been taught by others. It's a book you can read straight through in one sitting or jump around in.
