Reviews"Writing in Music is an extremely practical and comprehensive overview of students' writing needs. The book is packed with practical advice, examples, and pull-out illustrations, showing every stage of the process from personal interest in a piece to crafting the best title for an article. I especially appreciate the emphasis on how much writing is a process--from freestyle opening work, to careful drafting of an argument, to the vital process of deep revision."--Timothy J. Dickey, Ohio State University"Writing in Music has much better coverage than other similar books that I have seen. It's fantastic. I would describe it as a one-stop source for music writing."--Sanna Pederson, University of Oklahoma"Offering much more than just writing advice, Writing in Music decodes the entire research process from start to finish, specifically for music students. Music majors should get this book at the beginning of their careers, and keep it in arm's reach all four years of their program."--Mark Samples, Central Washington University"The authors have done an excellent job of providing many useful examples that illustrate their points. It is essential for any music course that includes a component on writing."--Mark McKnight, University of North Texas, "Writing in Music is an extremely practical and comprehensive overview of students' writing needs.
