Collected here is THE list of the most amazing sites, tools, and -- in some cases -- largely untapped resources that can change your career as a musician forever. I put this together because musicians need a simple way to leverage the web effectively.

How to Use This Book This book is designed to be very useful from the first time you use it. You can browse through the listings in alphabetical order, or feel free to skip around, but the real power comes from visiting some of the sites listed here. For cross-referencing purposes, I also listed some music topics with specific suggestions on which entries to read. (You can also use your e-reader's search function to find others.) I tried to give you an extensive list of resources, but it can never be complete in this format. I have added many sites that I use often, but inclusion in this book should not be considered an endorsement. Please make sure to do your research and due diligence before signing up with any of the sites listed in this book. For those who don't know the names of many of these music-related websites and resources, alphabetical listings don't help. So feel free to start with the 'Category List' chapter if you have a specific interest. That's where some similar, related sites are listed together so that you can find targeted sources to begin your online explorations. And for those musicians looking for an actual ACTION PLAN, I decided to include a few hypothetical "Case Studies" at the end of the A-Z Resource List. I wanted to give you an idea how various readers and musicians might approach these various sites and tools and put some of this new information and knowledge into immediate use. Directory of web resources for music sales, distribution, music business, performing rights, writer royalties, music production, teaching music online, PR, crowdfunding, music marketing, independent publishing, professional development, e-commerce, networking, social media, and more for all musicians, vocalists, composers, lyricists, and songwriters.

Since it was first published in 1993, the Sourcebook for Research in Music has become an invaluable resource in musical scholarship. The balance between depth of content and brevity of format makes it ideal for use as a textbook for students, a reference work for faculty and professional musicians, and as an aid for librarians. The introductory chapter includes a comprehensive list of bibliographical terms with definitions; bibliographic terms in German, French, and Italian; and the plan of the Library of Congress and the Dewey Decimal music classification systems. Integrating helpful commentary to instruct the reader on the scope and usefulness of specific items, this updated and expanded edition accounts for the rapid growth in new editions of standard works, in fields such as ethnomusicology, performance practice, women in music, popular music, education, business, and music technology. These enhancements to its already extensive bibliographies ensures that the Sourcebook will continue to be an indispensable reference for years to come.

This second edition of Song Sheets to Software includes completely revised and updated listings of music software, instructional media, and music-related Internet Web sites of use to all musicians, whether hobbyist or professional. This book is a particularly valuable resource for the private studio and classroom music teacher.

This is an annotated bibliography to books, recordings, videos, and websites on choral music. This book will serve as an excellent tool for librarians, researchers, and scholars in sorting through the massive amount of new material that has appeared since publication of the previous edition.

Today's music teachers are caught in a conundrum about technology - while all are interested in it and told to utilize it in music instruction, a lack of equipment and funding act as enormous barriers to technology access. In fact, studies indicate that the mere perception of these obstacles may be partly responsible for the gap between these teachers' interest in technology and the lack of technology integration in the classroom. As a result, students potentially miss out on active, hands-on music technology instruction at school. In Practical Music Education Technology, veteran music educators Rick Dammers and Marjorie LoPresti help music teachers introduce technology into the classroom by providing accessible strategies to support and enrich students' musical learning. The authors highlight a plethora of free online tools at teachers' disposal, and provide options that can be flexible for all school environments and types of teachers - from those with large budgets to those operating on a shoestring, from those well-versed in technology to non-experts. Each chapter outlines pedagogically appropriate resources and strategies that facilitate, support, and enhance music learning, performance, and creation. Additionally, model lesson plans featuring classroom-tested uses of technology aim to empower student engagement while also keeping music learning goals at the forefront. All teaching ideas presented can be tailored to individual teachers' needs and preferences, making Practical Music Education Technology an essential guide to music technology for the everyday music teacher.
