‘Entrepreneurship is a discipline that can be taught across the disciplines. Angela Beeching's chapter demonstrates how the essential business concepts of entrepreneurship can be made relevant to music students. By using short case studies featuring musical entrepreneurs, Beeching's excellent chapter provides a context for teaching entrepreneurship that reflects musicians' values and priorities. As one might expect from Beeching, a luminary in the music entrepreneurship world, her chapter also includes insights for educators and practitioners from all disciplines inspired by our musical golden age of entrepreneurship.’
