Text Books for Music Biz

Save Money For Students - Eliminate Non-Essential Text Books

- MIDI - Lose the "Audio For Media" book. $ 115. Similar in essential info to the APone book. In general, we need to get rid of outdated music books. MANY are outdated.

- Trends - "Navigating The Music Industry" is a waste. The class is about EPKs, Internet networking (MySpace/Facebook), podcast/rss, downloading, 360 deals, Radiohead, etc. Internet research is the best way to find this stuff. "Future Of Music" is a bit flakey, but at least it is pointed in the right direction... the present & the future. Berklee has some good books.. PDFs like the Indie Bible are great.. This is an industry going through a revolution & the content changes almost daily.
