This Business of Songwriting

Product Information

Description

Learning to write great songs is not enough. Without a firm grasp of the rudiments of music publishing, and a solid knowledge of how songs generate income, how they may be protected, and how to organize a business, songwriters leave themselves adrift in a sea of obstacles and challenges, unable to navigate the rolling waters of today's music business. This Business of Songwriting gives a detailed, comprehensive examination of business-related topics and issues that all songwriters need to understand, and it presents accessible explanations and samples of the contracts, licenses, and legal agreements that songwriters are likely to encounter throughout their careers. Readers will learn that the business skills and knowledge they need can be acquired, as the author shares his insights and expertise gained from more than twenty years “on both sides of the desk” in the music business.
