I remember first taking voice lessons in high school to prepare for college scholarship auditions. Shoveling out $20 per half-hour lesson already took some planning, so I was stuck with a decision: would I push the budget further to purchase all the music I would be singing, or use illegal copies of my teacher's music?
I also remember being offered a spot in a small ensemble that covered copyrighted music. The money was good, and the musicians were good, but there wasn't clarity as to how performance rights were being navigated at their venues. I passed on the gig.
One of my goals as a composer is to protect high schoolers, college students, and choir directors from these dilemnas, so that everyone can feel better about doing what they need to do to make music.
Maybe you want to be able to legally copy music for your voice students, or buy a reproducable score for your choir. We can adjust the details on your invoice to accomodate those needs. I like to keep things flexible so I can serve as many teachers and students as possible.
Thanks for your cooperation. I hope that by working together, we can make the tangled world of music rights a little easier to navigate.
