Book Description
Recording pioneers would hardly recognize the music industry today. While new acts rise and fall, technology such as CD burners and Internet file sharing programs ignite battles over copyrights and royalties. One aspect of music that has not changed, however, is the industry's insatiable appetite for new songs. To help songwriters capitalize on this demand for songs and understand the many changes and pitfalls within the industry, a veteran songwriter now shares his success secrets. Fred Koller, whose hundreds of recorded compositions include three number one hit songs, has fully revised and expanded his classic guide How to Pitch and Promote Your Songs.

An astonishing book.......2006-12-21
As a songwriter pitching my own songs I have read some books on the subject. This book made me set my hopes low as the Author mainly have been working out of Nashville for the most of his songwriting career; wich spans decades.
What a pleasant surprise. This book is written so straightforward and it applies in a very global way, broadening the Nashville horizon to any corner of the world. This book is a must read either your are trying to pitch your songs from a project studio in Africa or on the north pole.
It's simply brilliant, allthough some part of it has slipped past the updates, it doesnt make it less interesting. Not at all.
This book boosts my wish to produce and pitch more often and it really gives a feeling of self esteem in the process.
Put shortly; a must-have. You would regret not having this one on the shelf. Nuf said.
A Great piece of work.......2006-07-04
book worth the price and more. I highly recommend this book to gain greater insights in the Music business or any business. It was a great buy along with a couple of manuals purchased from Musicbrains.net entitled the Indie label Kit on Amazon, Music business 101, future of music and Guide to releasing an independent record by Tim Sweeney.
Good.......2006-05-20
Ever hit the "play" button on your stereo and wondered what's behind that dirty thing you push every morning? Well, if you're a rookie record producer and those questions haunt your every morning then this book will be a revelation for you. Content is rich, impressive and the information is accurate, all presented in full details with step by step guides. Dealing mostly with the promotional aspect Fred Koller's book is a must for people just starting out their own company and are disoriented by the complicate details of the trade.
An invaluable guide and tutorial for song promoters........2002-03-23
Songwriters have benefitted from the prior editions of this classic: this third edition updates information, expanding and revising chapters and revealing today's new tools needed to get songs recorded. From understanding the business needs of agents and producers to targeting producers with special styles, How To Pitch And Promote Your Songs is an invaluable guide to the basics.
NASHVILLE SONG SYSTEM DESCRIBED IN HELPFUL GUIDEBOOK.......2000-01-12
Koller is a working Nashville songwriter who also sits on the board of the Nashville Songwriter's Association International (NSAI), which does a terrific job of mentoring capable young songwriters and giving them an entry point into the Nashville writers' community. The title pretty well describes the book, and Koller is an author equal to his task. On another point, as Writer's Digest pulls back from its ten years of leadership in the field of music business books (mid-80's to mid- 90's), I'm glad to see former Writer's Digest authors such as Koller and Paul Zollo finding good second homes. In the case of Fred Koller, our thanks go to Allworth Press in New York, a division of Billboard Books. Ron Simpson, School of Music, Brigham Young University. Author of MASTERING THE MUSIC BUSINESS.

Customer Reviews:
Turn-of-the-Century Design: A Warped View.......2001-05-05
The remark that this book "traces this aesthetic revolution..and is a compleling guide through the founding years of Modernism" rings false after even a cursery examination. Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the great architectural geniuses of the period, is represented by a chair. Grueby Faience is given a reproduction, but Greene & Greene and Bernard Maybeck are not mentioned. Several of Otto Wagner's students are repesented, but he does not appear. Gaudi and Horta cannot be found. Josef Hoffmann, the great genius of Secessionism, is poorly represented and two of his most famous chairs are attributed to Kammerer. Tiffany appears to be a minor window designer. Etc. One suspects that the authors saved photos in a shoebox and threw this series together. This is a great idea that is unfortunately very slovenly assembled and ultimately serves to distort and flatten this inventive and extravegent period of architecture and art. Taschen and his authors should be ashamed of this endeavor.
REPRINTS FROM THE HIGHLY PRIZED DECORATIVE ART YEARBOOKS.......2001-01-18
TASCHEN's Decorative Art series spans the 20th century through the 1970s and carefully reproduces the best of Studio Magazine's Decorative Art yearbooks. Published annually from 1906 until 1980, the yearbook was dedicated to the latest currents in architecture, interiors, furniture, lighting, glassware, textiles, metalware, and ceramics, and remained on the cutting edge throughout its nearly eight-decade run. Since going out of print, the now hard-to-find yearbooks have been highly prized by collectors and dealers. Preserving the yearbooks' original page layouts, TASCHEN's Decorative Art books bring you an authentic experience of each decade's design trends and styles. The now complete six-volume set is an essential addition to the comprehensive design library and the devoted collector will want them all.
Decorative Art 1900 ~ 1910s - This volume highlights the aesthetic transition from the Victorian era to the modern age at a time when `modern' was a genuinely new concept. Eschewing designs that displayed excessive ornamentation, this era of Decorative Art yearbooks showcased the work of progressive designers like Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Charles Voysey, Josef Hoffmann and the Wiener Werkstätte.

Aunt Frances can no longer take care of her, and she has been sent to stay with her New England relatives.

Great Pictures of 1909.......2000-09-23
This book has great pictures of 1909, they are wonderful to study. It only covers 1909 and not the rest of the early 1900's during which there were lots of fashion changes. Right after this time period there were further changes so it's a good stopping point. Dover is great for those of us who are looking at vintage fashion!
Lots of pictures to ooh and aah over.......2000-06-19
This is reprint of a 1909 catalog. Catalogs are a great reference for looking at clothes because they are always shown clearly, from head to toe, and in all the important details are pointed out for you. This book is an excellent resource for inspiration for suit jackets, skirts, lace blouses, inimate apparel, and heirloom clothing for children.

Customer Reviews:
Over my head.......2006-12-13
The previous and only reviewer is probably a good friend of the writer. Sure she is a guru and also presents her book like a guru. Right over the head of an electronically challenged person like myself. The hour lessons takes at least 3 hours after you had to scratch around internet websites to learn the meaning of the terminology she assumes you would know and trying to figure out what she meant. This is not a book if you really want to get into Outlook fast. Maybe it should be the 2nd book to study on Outlook.
But then as I said, I am electronically challenged. But I can comprehend things if it is explained properly
THE book to use for getting up & running in Outlook 2003.......2003-11-15
Written by a microsoft office guru - you'll be in the best hands possible for getting Outlook 2003 up and running right away. The author is knowledgeable, clear, and concise. Probably the best money you can spend for a how-to for Outlook 2003.
