David Bruenger is the founding director of the Music, Media, and Enterprise Program at Ohio State University.
“Bruenger offers a highly useful text to those entering or stalled in the business, who are desperately seeking expert guidance. Making Money, Making Music gives, for the first time, a publication that is well steeped in research but has access points that will be meaningful to both students and younger professionals. Bruenger has a significant position in creating studies in the field and writes with lucid authority and a welcome lack of ideology.”—Mitchell Korn, founder of MitchellKornArts, Advisor for Edify Technologies, Inc. and Adjunct Professor of Music and Community at the Blair School of Music, Vanderbilt University
