Media composers....come join us! This 2-Day seminar is an investment in your music business acumen that will pay off more than any sample library purchase you have ever made. I promise you that. There are so few opportunities to really learn and hear about this “non-note” stuff. My second seminar group (weekday version) starts Tues Feb 20th. Second day is Tues Feb 27th. We still have room FOR YOU! See website link below for signup info. Seminar cost will go up a tad in the future. (Pro Tip: use the seminar cost as a 2024 tax write-off expense.) http://filmmusic.business
