Enroll in Course
Welcome to Music Licensing 101 for Artists & Composers!
Far too often we hear of people with amazing music who miss out on sync licensing opportunities because they don't have agreements in place with those they wrote or recorded with, don't have their songs properly registered, or don't even try because they don't understand how it all works. If you want to be prepared when opportunity knocks, this class will give you the tools to make it happen.
This is the short cut I wish I had when I first got started in licensing. You’ll understand the basics of songwriting and master recording splits, PROs and performance royalties, copyright ownership, and licensing terminology that make the sync world work. You'll also get detailed action steps in each chapter's course pack to turn what you've learned into reality in your career.
This class is for artists, composers and songwriters, and even aspiring music supervisors and industry professionals who want to make music licensing a bigger part of their careers.
We’ll cover:
- Who’s Who in Music Licensing
- Master & Sync
- Writing & Publishing Splits
- PROs (Performing Rights Organizations)
- Performance Royalties
- Master Recording Splits & Covers
- Copyright Ownership
- License Agreement Deal Points & Fees
You’ll leave the class with:
- The Knowledge you need to monetize your music
- Action Steps to put this Knowledge to work in your career
- An Online MusiPros Community you can partner with and learn from
I’m excited to have you in the class!

What people are saying...
"I LOVE the content. I think this is of massive value to musicians/artists, because many of us are just that — we aren’t focused on the business side, and if we are, it can be massively confusing."
