There is plenty of training and advice out there around how to build a successful career in music, but not so much around how to do that while staying healthy and happy. A new book called ‘Sound Advice: The Ultimate Guide to a Healthy and Successful Career in Music‘ aims to do what it says on the tin, and combine both.
Written by music industry journalist (and past Music Ally contributor) Rhian Jones and PhD researcher and musician Lucy Heyman, the book comes out at the end of February, and ranges across topics from performance skills and money management to mental health, substance abuse, eating disorders and vocal / hearing health. “Education is a vital element in preventing health issues before they escalate and we’ve aimed to provide that through a combination of research, interviews, professional advice and resources,” said Jones.
