Course Description
|
During this short course, you will be representing a hypothetical four member band of which two of the members are the primary songwriters starting with your initial client interview with the band and the terms of your representation agreement. You will explore the material issues to be addressed in the band partnership agreement (including ownership of the group name and the group’s songs), material terms of recording agreements and music publishing agreements, analyze the various sources of income available to the songwriter/recording artist and discuss how each of those income streams is determined. Industry customary forms of music publishing, recording, band partnership, tour & personal appearance engagement, sponsorship/endorsement and merchandise contracts will be distributed as part of the course materials and the drafting and negotiation of key terms those contracts will be discussed. Short Course Attendance Policy Due to the small number of meetings, attendance to all meetings/classes for short courses is mandatory. Students who miss more than one class session (80 minute) of a 1-credit short course are subject to administrative withdrawal and will have a W for the course on their transcripts.
