The textbook integrates three areas of concentration—music theory and composition, audio engineering, and music business—allowing students to understand and practice how to successfully navigate each stage of a score’s life cycle from concept to contract. Students will learn how to:
Translate musical ideas into scores utilizing music theory and composition techniques
Transform scores into professional audio through the production stages of tracking, sequencing, editing, mixing, mastering, and bouncing
Market works to prospective clients
The textbook assumes no prior knowledge of music theory or audio topics, and its modular organization allows instructors to use the book flexibly. Exercises at the end of each chapter provide practice with key skills, and a companion website supports the book with video walkthroughs, streaming audio, a glossary, and printable exercise pages.
Combining a grounding in music notation and theory concepts with a foundation in essential technologies, The Craft of Contemporary Commercial Music offers an innovative approach that addresses the needs of students preparing for music careers.
Greg McCandless is Assistant Professor of Music Theory at Appalachian State University. Daniel McIntyre is Department Chair of Music Composition at Full Sail University.
