Product description
Review
"This book can serve as an excellent resource for faculty who advise undergraduate music students coming to the end of their time in college as well as for arts management faculty who have musician entrepreneurs among their student body. Further, the book is a valuable call from the field, reminding arts administrators and arts administration educators about the current state of the artistic job market and how artists might be supported by our programs, institutions of higher learning, and arts organizations." --The Journal of Arts Management, Law, and Society "Starting with her love of music and years of experience in both academia and the real world, Angela Myles Beeching has written a book full of inspiring yet practical lessons for performing musicians--a kind of workbook for a life in music." --Charlotte Schroeder, President, Colbert Artists Management "Beyond Talent is like the ultimate Swiss army knife for the young musician. Packed with savvy insights, sage advice, practical ideas and inspiring examples, this omprehensive guide delivers the tools to navigate a successful path in music no matter where it might lead." --Phillip Ying, Violist, Ying Quartet; Associate Professor, Eastman School of Music, University of Rochester; former President, Chamber Music America "Beyond Talent is a wonderfully helpful book for the professional future of any young musician. Beeching writes clearly and comprehensively. Her book is a must for the library of any professional musician." --Robert Freeman, Dean, College of Fine Arts, the University of Texas at Austin "Authoritative, informative and comprehensive books about the 'classical' music industry are rare and to be prized when they appear. [This] is just such a book. And is consequently to be valued...The tone, manner of delivery, layout, comprehensiveness, accuracy, appropriateness, common sense, wisdom and up-to-date nature of Beyond Talent: Creating a Successful Career in Music, not to mention its very reasonable price, make this as near definitive a winner as there is." --Classical.net "Beyond Talent provides a much-needed update and will undoubtedly become the new classic in years to come. Beeching's book is extremely helpful, comprehensive, generous, and insightful. I give it my top four-reed rating, all of them suitable for a Carnegie Hall recital." --Michèle Gingras, The Clarinet "Convenient to use as a textbook for a one-semester course on career planning...Beyond Talent fills a gaping hole, as it provides excellent material that is difficult to find in other sources...This new edition of Beyond Talent is highly recommended for all libraries that support classical and jazz studies." --Canadian Association of Music Libraries Review

An excellent resource for the avid musician!
Reviewed in the United States on 5 October 2016Verified Purchase
I was required to read this in a music business class in college. In reading chapter to chapter. I found the book to be an amazing read! Beeching discuses the necessities of having a successful and rewarding music career in any given field from constructing a resume to marketing and displaying your talent through media presence to audience environment to preparing how to prepare for a given music job, and so on. Her chapters provide easy reading and give what I call (break points) so I don't have to read 50 pages just to get to a point where I can safely stop reading. I strongly recommend this book to the avid musician or for anyone who is greatly considering a music career!

The Go-To Business Guide for Aspiring and Professional Musicians
Reviewed in the United States on 24 July 2014Verified Purchase
This book is a wonderful crash course and reference guide to making it as a freelance musician. I consider this a must-have for any professional or aspiring professional musician. As somebody who has been to multiple music schools, and who makes a living as a violinist, I have to say that the information in this book is just as important to a successful music career as is playing your instrument well... BUT! This is the stuff they never teach you in music school.
Some topics off the top of my head: How to write a business letter; How to create a website; How to create business cards; How to record a demo CD; How to network; How to fundraise; How to get promotional photos... you get the idea.
I loaned this book out to another musician friend. He liked it so much that instead of shipping mine back to me, he ordered me a new one and kept a copy for himself. I got this book in much the same way — I checked it out from the library, and liked it so much, that I bought a copy for myself. Well worth it, and I've never seen a better book of its kind.

I know you can highlight the Kindle version but I think I'm going to invest in the print version of this too. It's that good. I wish I'd read this whilst I was in music college. It really does cover everything. And I do mean everything. There's loads of information here.
It should be required reading for anyone studying music at a tertiary level who desires a career in music. Ms Beeching has created a brilliant resource.If your serious about about having a successful music career, this book is an absolute must!.
