With a prologue by doctors Santos Gracia Villar and Rubén Calderón, president of FUNIBER and rector of the European University of the Atlantic (UNEATLANTICO) respectively, the renowned pianist José Luis Nieto has published a guide aimed mainly at musicians who wish to embark on a career.
How should a musician embark on his career? What are the steps to follow? Is it necessary for a musician to have media coverage? How have the great established artists done in the present and throughout history? How can we know what our vocation is?
These are some of the questions that the famous musician poses in his new book “How to undertake your career and other eccentricities”, which offers answers and tools to manage your career in an optimal way.
With the perspective of a musician, José Luis Nieto describes in the book the path to follow to undertake, from any professional field. As the renowned musician explains: “This guide aims to inspire that diligent seed of entrepreneurial restlessness that we all carry within us”.
As Dr. Santos Gracia describes, José Luis Nieto’s book is a practical vision of the work of entrepreneurship in the field of music. “Educational institutions promote optimal training and development of students’ abilities, but they swim in a pond far removed from real life. We learn law but we are not taught how to set up a law firm. We learn music but they don’t teach us how to embark on a concert career…”
In this essay it is possible to find, in addition to a critical and practical vision, anecdotes and experiences that the artist himself narrates and that can serve as inspiration for those musicias who wish to begin their musical career.
As Dr. Rubén Calderón states in his presentation, in José Luis Nieto’s book “we find answers to questions that we must challenge when we undertake a challenge or a venture, in the broadest sense of the term”.
