This chapter explains how the music industry operates.
- The three main ‘revenue streams’ from music…Recording, Publishing and Live Performance.
- The businesses that operate within these areas of music, such as record labels, publishers, promoters and managers.
- The organisations that represent writers, performers, managers, producers, publishers and labels
- The ‘collection societies’ that collect royalties on behalf of writers, performers and producers.
Importantly, we will look at ways of FINDING information about the music industry, by using the INTERNET.
In music, everyone needs to have a good team around them. It is therefore crucial for you to become familiar with the ‘big picture’ of how the music industry operates, so that you can start to find out where you fit into it.
