Reading for self-improvement is a common habit among successful people in all kinds of fields, and this is definitely true for musicians! However, good reading is more than just staring at words on pages. Besides types of books, it's important to invest time, energy and techniques to get the most out of what you're reading.

On Episode 90, I chatted with Bob Moore about the tools of being a church music director. At the time, I was 20 months removed from being a church music director myself. However, one day after this episode releases, I will be starting a new job as a church music director. In this episode, I share my goals and action lists to help ensure that I get off to a great start. Hopefully this can give you ideas as well if you're looking to do similar work.
