Admittedly, I am somewhat of a "personal growth" junkie junkiePopular health A popular term for a person, usually an IV narcotic abusing addict, whose life is disorganized vis-á-vis family and societal structure, whose existence revolves around obtaining–often through theft, prostitution or other illicit ,so I opened How to Grow as a Musician: What All Musicians Must Know toSucceed with great anticipation.

The author, Sheila Anderson, has a background hosting jazz programsfor radio and television and How to Grow As a Musician reads as anextended interview of numerous musicians. Divided into chapters such as"Learning One's Craft," "Is There Such a Thing asToo Much Practice?" "How to Promote and PresentYourself," "When and How to Record" and "Survival101: From Sideman side��man?n.A member of a jazz band who is not the leader or a featured soloist. to Leader," I wondered what nuggets Nuggets can refer to several branches of interest: , a compilation of U.S. psychedelic rock released between 1965 and 1968 , a Rhino Records box set of non-U.S. of wisdom I,a classical pianist, would glean. While these chapters did not directlyanswer nay graduate school questions, the musicians interviewed (mainlyjazz and popular musicians) had years of experience and survival skillsand repeated the same advice: one has to work to improve one'scraft; those who continuously work are those who are most generous andleast territorial towards other musicians; the musicians who had thelongest, richest careers were those who constantly tried to improve andgrow; and non-musical elements mattered: show up on time, dressappropriately, be prepared. These ideas may seem like common sense, but they still are worthrepeating and revisiting. I may not worry about managers and recordingcontracts, but I know the wisdom that by simply working (regardless ofthe gig), often leads to more work.

This bookdoes not contain all the answers, but it does have some worthwhileadvice. Reviewed by Amy Greer, Albuquerque, New Mexico “Albuquerque” redirects here.
