He provided a highly organized and comprehensive summation of what a film composer needs to know about the industry today. This is different from the books one finds in stores, in that it is written from an insider's point of view. In that way it is unique.” ―Richard Danielpour, Grammy-winning composer; professor, Manhattan School of Music and Curtis Institute of Music “This is the sort of book I've been hoping someone would write for a very long time. It's an important practical outlook on the contemporary realities of scoring, and it will become part of my curriculum immediately.” ―Barry Schrader, professor, California Institute of the Arts “This book fills a needed gap. There are several good technical books about film scoring available to students. But there hasn't been―until now―a book offering detailed, sage, and keenly practical advice about how to organize one's working life as a film composer and navigate one's way towards a successful career. I highly recommend this book to every aspiring student of film composition.” ―Edward Green Ph.D, professor of composition, Manhattan School of Music; Composer-in-Residence, Imagery Film, Ltd. “I was immediately impressed with the easy access to the video clips online.
