Introduction to the Music Industry: An Entrepreneurial Approach

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

There are many people to thank for their inspiration and encouragement in writing this book. First, I would like to acknowledge the hundreds of students with whom I have had the pleasure of learning and teaching. Their passion for music has inspired me to find new ways to think about the music industry, resulting in this textbook. Gregory Allis, Pedro Avillez Costa, Katonah Coster, Jillian Ennis, Shrayans Jha, Chris Lane, Christine Mayer, and Yifan Qin are former students who contributed to researching and writing several sections of the book.
