A Review of "Every Good Boy Does Fine" by Jeremy Denk
<p>Jeremy Denk's book is part memoir, part musical analysis, and part reflection on what it means to grow into a life in music. Ultimately, it's a story about becoming and the lessons learned along the way. You'll find humorous personal anecdotes, reflections on the realities of developing an artistic practice, and an appendix with Denk's most recommended pieces of classical music.</p><p><br></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/0812995988/?tag=musicianco-20" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Buy this book on Amazon</a></li><li><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/87767/9780812985887" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Buy this book on Bookshop</a> (support independent bookstores 🙌)</li><li><a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6E7lrvwZUNrgEqpIcBAcQ4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Every Good Boy Does Fine playlist</a></li></ul><p><br></p><br><p><br></p><h3>What to read next:</h3><p>📚 See <a href="https://www.musicianandcompany.com/books" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">what's on our bookshelf</a>: book recommendations for musicians, teachers & entrepreneurs</p><br><p><br></p><br><p><br></p><h3>Let's be friends:</h3><p>📱 IG: <a href="https://tr.fdske.com/ec/gAAAAABknFJYor38uE8fp0YSBt5Y3hUFuy4X-e3626gER1n6UZkFOdWIyjjtE2dp7bQwRRIPvgfMFRRB09VZunRbzBBtC5t7mB70zJve0Y9kKicopHeLX_aeUW1EZhJsX3tJzloI2uyxN5gVKv7ZUBSObSw8goEMHwuwJMrHmp9siJTzBRLGUtxOOVDEstiT62kntkVkNaIeT9sySWebw27lCCuUNcPQmr2XPrDdJ0rTLdTaVAvfaJ02aopiz0diMhVW5MB5Tr4xZTyNtVEF8Jbd8Gaz2Z0ABnp_b1GgWZc5YCtqXvUoNvhNtvdOapWlkni8LwQleRq9fi-H5ObBZ4zK3VP6jCuHyw==" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ashleydanyew</a></p><p>✉️ Email: <a href="mailto:hello@musicianandcompany.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">hello@musicianandcompany.com</a></p><br><p><br></p><br><p><br></p><h3>Whenever you're ready, here are 3 ways we can work together:</h3><ol><li><a href="https://shop.musicianandcompany.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>Music Business Templates</u></a> - tools to help you manage the business side of your music career, starting at $37.</li><li><a href="https://shop.musicianandcompany.com/b/the-musicpreneur-model" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>The Musicpreneur Model</u></a> - a self-paced course to help you build and manage a diversified portfolio career in music.</li><li><a href="https://www.musicianandcompany.com/services" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>1:1 Consulting</u></a> - in-depth strategy sessions, résumé & CV writing reviews, and brand design.</li></ol><p><br></p><p>DISCLAIMER: This description contains affiliate links, which means if you make a purchase, I may earn a commission.
