First Music Business Course a “Big Hit”
-Alchemea recently hosted Sample Magic’s “The Business of Music” course. Over an intensive weekend music lawyer and music industry expert Richard Salmon guided 12 ambitious students through the ins and outs of the jungle that is known as the music business. On Saturday the class was joined by producer and music industry expert Sharooz (Moby, Mylo) who provided valuable input into the break out session.
The key to this course’s success was for Richard to gain a solid understanding of what the class wanted to achieve. Once this was done he was able to tailor the content to their requirements. From publishing and royalty collection to making deals in a digital landscape a lot of ground was covered and by the end the weekend the class were buzzing with new ideas and optimism.
“I found the Business For Music course invaluable; even though I have been a music industry professional for many years, the course makes it easy to understand the structure and function of music publishing, public performance, recording rights, royalties and record labels, and all the other relevant processes that will enable me to start up my own business”
Rick Conrad (Music Business Professional)
