Beskrivning

The singer-songwriter, someone who writes and performs their own music, is an ever-present and increasingly complex figure in popular music worlds. The Singer-Songwriter Handbook provides a useful resource for student songwriters, active musicians, fans and scholars alike. This handbook is divided into four main sections: Songwriting (acoustic and digital), Performance, Music Industry and Case Studies. Section I focuses on the ‘how to’ elements of popular song composition, embracing a range of perspectives and methods, in addition to chapters on the teaching of songwriting to students. Section II deals with the nature of performance: stagecraft, open mic nights, and a number of case studies that engage with performing in a range of contexts. Section III is devoted to aspects of the music industry and the business of music including sales, contract negotiations, copyright, social media and marketing. Section IV provides specific examples of singer-songwriter personae and global open mic scenes. The Singer-Songwriter Handbook is a much-needed single resource for budding singer-songwriters as well as songwriting pedagogues.

Recensioner i media

It's been a long time coming, but the identity of the singer-songwriter, sitting between so many genres as they do, seems finally to be taken seriously. But this book is special in another way too – it is unusual to find a combination of academic thinking and practical advice within the same covers, but that's what you get here, and they seem to gel to provide a rich mixture of thoughtful pieces. Indeed, there's only one delightful problem – from the abundance of perspectives offered, how do you find time to put it all into practice?!
