Workshop 1 – Starting from zero 

Starting from zero is an introduction to the functions of APRA AMCOS. The workshop covers everything from registering your song to understanding the basics of copyright. This workshop is a vital piece of knowledge for aspiring artists and industry professionals.

Participants will:

• Learn how to upload their song to APRA AMCOS, log setlists, and understand the payment process.
• Gain a greater understanding of copyright and where the revenue comes from that APRA AMCOS then pay forward to artists.

Workshop 2 – It's all about the music

The song is all. Doesn’t matter if you know all there is to know about our industry if you don’t have the songs! Play your music or music you represent to Australian songwriters, radio programmers, A&R professionals, and other music industry professionals to gain live feedback from artists and industry reps who are the top of their game. This masterclass will give participants an insight into creating the most important part of any music project, the music. 

Participants will:

• Have their music listened to by top songwriters, A&R representatives from publishers, and record labels. This is a real-world opportunity to launch a career without the years of trying to get someone in the business to listen to your songs.
• Gain an insight into the songwriting process and hear from songwriters who see a large part of their income from songwriting.
