[Commlist] New Book: Performing Popular Music: The Art of Creating Memorable and Successful Performances

Thu Feb 13 07:44:37 GMT 2020




Dr Waldo Garrido and David Cashman have recently published a book:

New Book: Performing Popular Music: The Art of Creating Memorable and Successful Performances

This book explores the fundamentals of popular music performance for students in contemporary music institutions. Drawing on the insights of performance practice research, it discusses the unwritten rules of performances in popular music, what it takes to create a memorable performance, and live popular music as a creative industry. The authors offer a practical overview of topics ranging from rehearsals to stagecraft, and what to do when things go wrong. Chapters on promotion, recordings, and the music industry place performance in the context of building a career. /Performing Popular Music/ introduces aspiring musicians to the elements of crafting compelling performances and succeeding in the world of today’s popular music.

Review:

Cashman and Garrido’s accessible book provides an absolutely first rate overview of all things related to the global live music industry. Written in jargon free language and crammed full of useful advice, the book is an ideal starting point for both the undergraduate student or any practitioner interested in musical performance. It would be a useful course text for all institutions teaching popular music performance. I certainly recommend it.
