  Every creator has the same problems with marketing.How do you call attention to your work?How do you get your creations into people’s minds and hearts?How do you get fans to tell their friends?How do you charge money for your labor of love?How do you get the media to help? 
  Derek Sivers was a professional musician before he started a music distribution company that helped 150,000 musicians sell their music to over four million people. So after years of living the problems, he was able to learn the solutions. 
  “Your Music and People” shares a successful philosophy of getting your work to the world by being creative, considerate, resourceful, and connected.It’s not just for musicians. 
  Though it uses music as the example, it is meant for any creator trying to reach people. Early readers called it one of the best books ever written on business marketing. 
  Example points include:Business is just as creative as music.Marketing is an extension of your art.Marketing means being considerate. Focus on others.Being weird is considerate.People skills are counterintuitive. To be helped, be helpful.Persistence is polite.Call the destination and ask for directions.Get specific about what you want.Be extreme and sharply defined. Proudly exclude most people.Money is just a neutral representation of value. Be valuable to others — not just yourself. People like to pay.Nobody knows the future, so focus on what doesn’t change.

  In Practice Pie, I'll teach you how to support your child in their musical journey. I can't promise it will be as easy as pie (but then, is pie really easy?) but I can promise to make it quick and practical, with a little humour thrown in for good measure.  
  You signed your child up for lessons because you wanted them to enjoy and appreciate music. You deserve a taste of that fun, too. Let's get baking so we can take a bite of some delicious music practice pie!What Teachers Are Saying... 
  "Learning to play an instrument takes practice and learning to practice takes practice. Nicola Cantan's 'Practice Pie' is the perfect recipe for showing parents how to create tasty practice sessions at home with their children."

Song Dynasty painting entered the ranks of handicraft industry and commerce, and established a closer relationship with more people. A group of skilled professional painters have sold their works as commodities in the market. There are already professional shops selling books and pictures.

  It's hard to imagine. I can't believe it. Was it really painted by people thousands of years ago? What they painted was so beautiful.

  The painting style of this book is different from what I read before. I think it may be a unique painting in China. This book is really a unique experience for me.

  If you are interested in oriental culture, you must read this book. The oriental culture here does not only refer to China. I think the painting style of the whole East has been influenced by China. Through this book, you can have a better understanding of the whole oriental culture.
