Music Mavens

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Nothing moves us like music.

Music Mavens transports readers around the world (and beyond) to a jazz performance in Genoa, an instrument lab in London, a Tokyo taiko dojo, a New York City beatbox battle, and even a film scoring session aboard the starship Enterprise, to name a few. Along the way, it spotlights artists whose work spans various musical genres and industry roles, including composing and songwriting, performing and conducting, audio engineering, producing, and rock photography.

In Music Mavens, 15 extraordinary women reveal how they turned their passions into platforms and how they use their power to uplift others.

Their musical resumes will inspire, but the way each artist lives her life is the real story.
