Hello all. I'm Vernessa Williamson.
I joined Stage 32 the day before yesterday and I've been exploring the site since.
I already feel a sense of community here by your posts and interactions and I look forward to networking with you and sharing ideas with you.
I am an indie music publisher and I have been publishing music for 6 years after 1-2 years of researching and learning the industry. I love promoting music and musicians although I myself am not a creator. I don't have enough talent in writing songs or singing but I have a good business sense and I have found my niche in music publishing. All of my music is cleared for licensing via Music Reports and/or Harry Fox Agency with performing rights via BMI, ASCAP, and COTT. My catalog includes various genres including reggae, hip hop, classic country, folk country, latin, and soca. Feel free to listen to a sample of my catalog at www.islanddragonmusic.com. I appreciate any feedback you give.
Enjoy you weekend! Make it awesome!
Hi Vernessa! Read your intro here. So nice to e-meet you! Hope this finds you well! Congrats on your music. Love what you do! Perhaps my course is just what you need. All My Best, Michèle Vice -Maslin Emmy Winning Hit Music Producer/ Songwriter. Here is the info. Fall 2020 - FROM SONG TO SYNC!
SAVE THE DATE!! SEPTEMBER 30!!
We are highly encouraging Pre-Registration as this course enrollment is limited to insure small class size.
From Song To Sync "Master Course” is the perfect aide for you not just for music for creators but non creators as well! For any in the entertainment business as well if you're looking to further your career in the music and media business through music licensing and publishing. If you are looking to fast track your way avoiding wasting years through the “school of hard knocks” that I learned through, this course is for you!
Why is this course different from the others?... This is the only live comprehensive course covering all facets of music licensing, songwriting, producing there is! That is actively hands on while I am hand holding - not passively watching video trainings and webinars, etc. In addition the class size is very small and intimate.
Why should you take this course?... After you complete this course you will not need to take another course on music licensing! You will be ready and doing it! I have attendees in my course who took other courses and were still not ready and able to pitch to all the abounding opportunities. Now they are!
How do I know my “stuff”?...I have had hit songs and over 5000 music placements worldwide procured by my own pitching and knowledge of the business! I’ve also been involved in pretty much every scenario possible in regards to music licensing and can share the happy as well as “save” you from any potential disasters that could occur! :)
Is this course live?...YES 100% with me!!! Not teaching assistants. Once a week formal class; Once a week live office hour; Email office hours M-F 7 hrs per day; Private facebook group for class interaction 24/7, Continued access to me always after the course is over for further guidance, advice, Q&A, hand holding, etc.
"Briefs Schmiefs" as my grandmother would say! This course focuses on the extensive diversity of pitching possibilities. Not just ads,Not just sync, not just writing for briefs, but how to pitch and place your music to all abounding opportunities (and there are lots), including to artists, films, tv, games, trailers, promos, instore retail, music supervisors, sync agents, song pluggers, managers domestically and internationally as well as ads and music libraries. You will learn all the tools necessary in a "hand holding" environment so you will really be able to "hands on" do it!! ... not just by passively watching fabulous videos and webinars but by learning the HOW TOs...How to utilize and put into action all that amazing information you are ingesting by actively participating.
This course requires you to have at least 10 well written recorded songs of professional Master quality.
This course is for you if you are ready to do it, haven't done it, or want to do more...AND...if you've been doing it for ages but need to REINVENT your business model in this world of self-licensing. To our peers who are used to the old model of "have music, have music publisher, get advances, get cuts...", this course is for YOU TOO!!! Learn how you can do it yourself! Publish yourself! Pitch for yourself! There’s no need to throw in the towel in this new world of the Music Biz.
We are building community not competing! There is lots of work to go around for us all!
With early registration by Sept 22 you will receive a $200.00 discount off the full tuition.
