Good Overview/Summary

Great overview of the “proven path.” He points you in the direction of resources to help more. I expected more length and detail of some of the steps taken, such as in the business and marketing areas. But it definitely helped me get my feet wet and thinking about all aspects of a music composition business. Keep up the great work, Steve!

Microphone is awful, I want my money back

the narration of this is absolutely horrible and unlistenable he has his mic set to turn off and on based on when it's picks up something. the result is horrible horrible static. made worse by the speaker taking huge pauses between every little point instead of talking in a normal fashion how anyone can listen to this is beyond me.

Got bored too much non composer stuff

More of a feel good family and faith at least first few chapters and quickly got bored. I was expecting more about, you know, composer stuff and not about how family comes first, etc. which is already a given, duh. Too much fluff, not enough solid. Pass. Waste of time.
