Atlanta, GA - Learn the differences between publishing and publicity at the music workshop series on Saturday, September 17, 2011 at Wooeb from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The "Publishing vs. Publicity" workshop will provide insider knowledge on the most significant aspects of the music business. Individuals will learn about song pitching, copyright registrations and collecting royalties on their musical works. Attendees will also have the opportunity to direct their questions face-to-face with music professional and the workshop's creator, Peniece Le Gall, who has worked for all three PRO's over the last decade. 

"I created this workshop to enlighten individuals who are interested in pursuing a professional career in music that there is a business side that comes along with making music and publishing is the vital aspect of longevity in the industry," says Le Gall. "It's all about being in the room with the movers and shakers that can make things happen and this workshop offers that opportunity," adds Cappriccieo Scates, Associate Director of SESAC's Writer/Publisher Relations department.

The Truth about Talent Shows & Open Mics

The truth about talent shows and open-mics is most artists and the local music community don’t benefit from them. The reason is a bit more complex than the music business being plagued by industry sharks taking advantage of the unknowing. The truth is talent shows and open-mics often don’t benefit the artists and the local music community because by default they are not designed to.

My goal throughout this section is to give details that will empower everyone involved in the talent showcase and open-mic experience with information that will allow these events to begin to benefit the artist and the local music community. In addition, my goal is to have artists, producers, managers, talent showcase organizers and other music business professional’s upgrade their thinking and revise how they work together during a showcase or open mic so that the live performance opportunity is beneficial for them and fans alike.

In this section I intend on accomplishing a few goals. First, you should begin to rethink the talent showcase and open-mic experience. Second, through the Q&A below I hope to share how the events may be a mutually beneficial arrangement for everyone involved including music fans, performing artists, the local music community, club owners and the talent show organizers. Third, I give specific details on how precision planning and execution will help everyone involved benefit from the talent showcase and open mic experience.
