"When discussing Music Business there is clearly no shortage of
credible sources. However, modern students and musicians require
not a dense tome of difficult to apply and seemingly random facts,
but rather a resource which artfully explains even the most complex
concepts within the field in the simplest of terms. DiGiallonardo
has seemingly effortlessly accomplished this with Beyond The Music:
An Introduction To The Music Industry, creating a required textbook
for Music Industry curricula and an invaluable guide for musicians
and music entrepreneurs, whether just beginning studies or
currently in the field." —Kyle P. Snyder, Audio Engineer /
Technologist, Chair, Central Indiana Section of the Audio
Engineering Society
"If you want to learn how musicians and industry professionals have
been treated for decades, if you want to be armed with legitimate
tools to navigate the business and prepare you for a career in the
industry, then read the book Beyond The Music. I have followed the
author's career for years and what makes him stand head and
shoulders above other authors is his combination of advanced
education, practical experience, varied commercial success and
phenomenal musical ability. As a Career Counselor and consultant, I
can say with confidence, you couldn't ask for a better resource
than Beyond The Music to help guide you through the surprisingly
complicated music industry." —Michael Buys, M.A., LMHC
