I’m taking a bit of a break from the norm this weekend to be with family and friends, so I’m not going to post anything lengthy.  However, as I reflect on the freedoms that I enjoy as a U.S. citizen, primarily the right to education and the freedom to be able to pursue my goals and dreams, I’m reminded that I return to my role as college professor this coming week.  I’m teaching another quarter on Music Production and Introductory Music Theory–basically a class on how to be a producer.

The class has some required reading, and I wanted to share that book with all of you.  The Art of Producing is one of the definitive books on how to become a music producer.  It’s incredibly thorough, yet easy to understand.  It covers everything from basic music theory, planning and organization, budgeting, musical composition and arranging techniques, and mixing.  I refer to the book time and again as a refresher, and I recommend it to all my students who want to produce music as a career (their own or for others).  Now I recommend it to you to!

Enjoy your holiday!
