The first edition contributed to the development of a new field, the sociology of music education. But the argument is of wider interest, and has been useful to me in better understanding the mechanics of the professional life as applicable to the working player.\"\u003cbr\u003eRobert Fripp, King Crimson\u003cp\u003eRESPONSES TO THE FIRST EDITION OF MUSIC ON DEAF EARS:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This is a fine book indeed.
