It doesn't matter what level you are at, there are many great ideas here to advance your career."

"Tom Leu's success techniques and positive (but realistic) approach can be applied to a lot more than just the business of creating and marketing sound. Unlike many resources of this type, it's also an entertaining reading experience. Leu speaks in terms that can be understood by virtually anyone, and speaks with a passion that's downright contagious! All of these factors make this book a "must-have" resource. This book will give you NEW ideas on promotion, attracting and keeping an audience and a whole lot more. If you are a musician & haven't already read this book, what are you waiting for?

"Money, Marketing, & Myths Inside the Musician's Corner is a highly informative Book/CD set that should be an indispensable part of any serious musician or artist's library.  As I say each week on my radio show: "There are no secrets, only that which you don't know, and when you know it - it's no longer a secret."  The Musician's Corner resources will help reveal the "secrets."

"Tom Leu is a dedicated and passionate believer in the concept of  'the well-rounded musician.'  Any musician who adheres to Tom's enlightening words will realize a career in a band takes more than being a great player, and will make a point of becoming well informed on the business aspects of music, will learn to be a strong collaborator and a team player and, as a result, will be a success!"

"I will be honest. I know very little about the music industry. Actually I love music but I hate the music business as most musicians do!. Tom Leu’s “Money, Marketing, & Myths inside the Musician's Corner Volume One” will not guarantee success but it will definitely point you in the right direction with much common sense thought. It’s up to you! Get to work!"
