reviewed Project Management for Musicians by Jonathan Feist

Reference for applying project management principles to a specific domain

This is an EXCELLENT resource for how to work on your music projects (be they a song, an EP, a tour, a concert, or whatever) in a systematic and organized way. I have some background in project management, but this is applying those things in a specific context with the music-specific hazards and rewards and considerations. It’s definitely given me some things to think about before the next serious collaborative project I work on. This is the text from a Berklee music course.
