Music Libraries... Music Placement... Music Publishing...
This workshop deals with current and future opportunities to earn money with your original songs and compositions.
Ever since the days when sheet music first burst forth from the printing press and was delivered directly into the hands of eager musicians, the business of music publishing has evolved with each technological advance in the entertainment/communication fields. From piano rolls to vinyl records to MTV to digital downloads, the manner in which composers enter the market and collect revenue from it has undergone profound changes. Particularly in the last decade, with the ease of global outreach but corresponding pervasive piracy, music publishers have sought to remain as viable and valuable participants in the ever changing business of music.
This panel will explore what remains of the old music publishing model, what the current trends are--with a particular focus on music libraries--and what music publishing is likely to become. More importantly, we will focus on how you, the songwriter/composer, can adopt strategies to take advantage of the new modalities emerging from the music publishing field. From how to get music placements to how to collect money from such placement, this panel is certain to get your creative juices flowing!
PLUS... SAVE THE DATE for Part 2 of this topic... Wednesday, November 2nd... CONTRACT Do's and Don't's will be discussed.
