Rick Keller (Music) has published A Creator's Practical Guide to Music Technology through Kendall Hunt Publishing.

The textbook offers a comprehensive, no-prerequisites guide to the full creative and business pipeline for today's music makers. Chapters cover assembling a home studio workstation, music creation and production, mixing, and the fundamentals of graphic and video content creation, alongside publishing and copyright, royalties, branding and social media, monetization, and project management.

As an adjunct instructor in the music technology program, Keller brings more than three decades of experience as a saxophonist, composer, and producer, including international performances and television and film appearances. He holds a Master of Music in Jazz and Commercial Music Composition from UNLV and a Bachelor of Music in Studio Jazz Instrumental Performance from the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, and designed the book to give students a practical roadmap from creating a project to releasing and sustaining it professionally.

The textbook is already being incorporated into the MUS139: Intro To Music Technology course.

A Creator's Practical Guide to Music Technology (ISBN 9798319709349) is available now as an e-textbook, with extensive embedded URL links throughout for additional learning resources.
