Lessons from a Streetwise Professor: What You Won't Learn at Most Music Schools was first published in 2011. It's a book that discusses contemporary issues in the real world of music, and the fact is, much has changed since then. An update was needed, so voil --the second addition. For this edition, I asked Steve Danyew to contribute. He's a former colleague at the Eastman School, and as a young person, he's up on all the latest and greatest happenings in the tech world. He's also a fine composer whose career is blossoming now.

What has changed in the last seven years that affects musicians? Certainly, the use of video has gone through the roof, not to mention social media, email marketing, Facebook ads, boosted posts, GoogleAdWords, and the list goes on. More and more musicians now publish their own music and recordings. The Internet has made it possible for them to side-step the big publishing houses and record labels. It's pretty much a "given" that musicians who are building solo careers must have a strong web presence. They connect with their fans and often use crowdfunding to raise money for projects. And since this is the real world in which we live, we have to talk about money. Changes made by Congress have impacted health care and taxes. Is it better or worse? The answer is, it depends. Each individual's personal circumstance will answer that question. Then there is the manner in which musicians are compensated for their creative work--copyright, royalties and now-digital royalties are being reexamined. These subjects are all addressed in this second edition.

What hasn't changed in the real-world music industry is the human dynamic. Audiences still stand and applaud a performance. They don't applaud their sound systems or playback devices. They appreciate and recognize excellence and quality. That is really the essence of this book. In my mind, in order to find success in music two conditions must dominate:

1. Do something you love and commit to quality; and

2. Get your message out and get noticed.

Here's hoping the pages in this second edition will help aspiring musicians and old pros alike do just that.

Just a great case overall
Color: Blue
Great grip case for an Apple TV 4K 2022 model. Especially for kids since my son loves to peel and nudge things off. Colors are great and nothing is covered up. A little tricky getting in but fits great. Arm loop a little tedious but work well.

Fits perfectly
Color: Red
This is great. It’s red, which makes it easy to find if it ends up in your cushions. It was a little tough getting it on, but once it’s on, it doesn’t shift, it fits perfectly. Plus, because it’s made of silicone, my remote stays on the arm of my chair or wherever I put it and it doesn’t slip off. Put the lanyard on before installing it on your remote because it’s nearly impossible to do it once it’s on.

Nice but color off
Color: Lavender gray
Very nice but the actual color is not close to the photo. I ordered lavender grey and the color in the photo looked light purple but the real coloring is more grey/blue. I took one star down since that was off but otherwise really like it. It’s nice quality, seems like it will be durable, and fits perfectly

Fantastic protection
Color: Mint green
These are a must-have for your remote. Already dropped it a couple of times on tile floors and not a scratch. Our old, unprotected Apple remotes are shattered so when we upgraded remotes, we got these covers. We got two for both Apple TVs and they even glow in the dark. Love them and worth every dime.
