I've created music as a hobby for a long time but getting paid for it is a recent goal with no roadmap. Luckily, a friend pointed me to Marina and this course on licensing your music for TV, films, and ads. It's a game-changer. The lessons are thoughtfully structured, starting with the basics of licensing and gradually diving into advanced strategies for pitching and negotiating. Marina not only covers the technicalities of licensing but also shares insider tips on building relationships with music supervisors and agencies. I got great info on building a catalog that resonates with industry needs, creating versatile tracks, and building a team. I especially appreciated the lessons on contracts and copyright, which demystify the legal aspects of the business. This course also offers plenty of resources, including templates, cheat sheets, and a clear step-by-step guide for submitting your work. It all starts with making good music, but there's so much more to licensing your music and Marina does an excellent job of showing you the way!

I've always wanted to learn more about sync but it seems like it's a world full of gatekeepers and nobody wants to give you any information. Marina's course sets out everything clearly and in plain English, and the downloadable pdfs are extremely handy. You do the course at your own pace (in my case I got through it in a few days because I was hooked!), but it's great to know that there's no deadline. There's alot in this course that I already know, having been in the music industry for some years, but there are some invaluable pieces of information in this course that literally no-one has ever wanted to share with me before! The assignment portion is a really great way of learning more about songs that have already been placed in TV, Film etc, and trying to figure out why these songs were chosen. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn more about the music sync business. Of course there's alot of work that I need to do after this course, but now I'm armed with actual information that can really make a difference. Thanks Marina :)
