START LICENSING MY MUSIC? COOL.

But where do I start?!

You have worked to write the perfect songs, and spent a lot of money in studios or time in your home studio producing and recording them. Your family, friends and fans love them and now it's time to get your music in front of a bigger audience. So far so good!

The thing is, you can't just take off on tour because maybe you have a family, a job or you realize it just isn't sustainable. How do you even begin to get labels interested with music sales still dropping through the floor?

You finally decide to try and license your music to TV & film... GREAT IDEA! Instant money and massive exposure. You upload it to some big music libraries or pay to submit them to licensing sites. Maybe you even try cold emailing a few music supervisors... and... crickets.

So how do you connect with the right people in music licensing who can make it happen for you? They're swamped with emails from thousands of other musicians trying to get into their shows, movies, or ads. They almost always only take music from their trusted sources.

Without being personally introduced to the gatekeepers with a clear step-by-step roadmap, songwriters, composers, and producers just get lost in the noise. They don't realize it's about working smarter, not harder.

The whole thing is about connecting with the right people in music licensing. This is critical to finally make things happen for you.

Luckily for you, there are VERY FEW people out there doing it right.

Most likely your competitor's songs are sitting in big music libraries collecting dust or they're paying to have someone they don't know listen to them without a sync to show for it.

AND THIS MEANS...

Even if you're late to the party, there is still time to turn things around (and get your music into TV & film).

That's where the Art of the Song Pitch comes in ...

Module 2

Songs That Work In Sync

Once you know how to target your music, you need to know which songs work best in licensing. It can make the difference between your music being just used by a film student or a top network.

Module Highlights:

• How to pick or write your music for TV & film (if you decide you want to write for sync)
• The lyrics and music that work most often in sync
• A special insider technique to write songs that will work for any licensing opportunity

Module 3

Produce Your Music Like a Pro

Your songs are written and now it's time to record them. Believe it or not, music production is the easiest thing to mess up in sync. It is the first thing a music supervisor hears when they hit play... Learn production tips & tricks so your song isn't rejected before it even has a chance.

Module Highlights:

• How to get world-class recordings at home
• Find out the critical things your music production has to have
• Get my personal affordable gear recommendations for your home studio
  
  

Module 4

Vetting Your Song Pitch

After everything is recorded, learn how to hit the bullseye with your song pitches. You unfortunately are not always the best judge of which of your songs will work in sync. Companies use surveys and focus groups to figure out what they are best at... so should you.

Module Highlights:

• Find out which songs of yours the viewing public (and music supervisors) will like best
• Learn how to quickly assemble and survey your own custom listening group
• Learn how to create the ultimate song pitch
  
  

Module 5

How To Connect With The Right People In Sync

You are finally ready to get your music out there! The biggest thing that separates music licensing successes from failures, is getting your music into the right hands. No matter how good your music is, it won't go anywhere if you can't get it heard by the people that matter.

Module Highlights:

• Meet and pitch your music live online to my top music supervisor friends
• Form your first relationships at the top of the sync industry
• Get the perfect email pitch template to land syncs over and over again

Module 6

Know A Good Licensing Deal When You See One

When you land your first sync placement, you're going to be excited. That's great, but you don't want that to cloud your judgment when it comes to doing the deal. So before you pitch, you need to make sure you are getting paid what you deserve and aren't trapped in a deal 'in perpetuity'.

Module Highlights:

• Understand how to negotiate your deal. Learn what's important and what's not.
• Avoid your music being trapped in a deal without a way out.
• Find out the differences in how songwriters vs composers get paid.

Mini Modules (7)

Cover Songs

We brought in a top music supervisor to talk about covers! What works and what doesn’t. Why they are good and what to watch out for if you decide to try and license one. 

Music in Ads

This mini module will explain how getting music into ads works. They sure pay a lot of money, but it is more complicated and even more competitive.

Module 8

Your New Career

How to put everything you have learned into action. There comes a time where you need to implement your knowledge and experience to move forward in the sync world and that time is now!

Module Highlights:

• How to throw fuel on the fire and increase your reputation, your relationships in the licensing industry, and your sync placements.
   

After all the modules are complete....

Live Music Supervisor Pitch Sessions

This is where the magic starts. I introduce you to some of my top music supervisor friends. You will have 4 x face to face pitch sessions with 4 different gatekeepers who work on the top shows, movies and ads. Relationships mean everything in the sync industry and this is where they start.

In Addition...

• Briefs (Sync Opportunities)

• Inclusion to Boutique Library

• Bi-weekly coaching calls with me to keep you on track

• Private Facebook Group 

I didn't want to love and leave you with just the course modules, so every second week I do a live coaching call with the class where you can ask me any questions you have about the previous modules.

You are also included in our private Facebook group where you can meet other members of the class, and my team or I hop in and answer questions right in the group.

Highlights:

• We get regular briefs from our connections in the sync world. We've spent years building these relationships and are on their go to list for sync opportunities so we want to pass these on to our students in The Art of the Song Pitch. And we never take a cut of your songs. 
• We include you in our non-exclusive boutique music library so that when we receive sync opportunities from music supervisors, we pitch your music. We never take a cut of your songs. 
• I hold your hand step-by-step through the modules with the coaching calls
• Discover co-writers and make new friends in the private Facebook group.

Myth 4

IT'S SUCH A MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB

Let me put this a different way... It's easy to forget that knowing how to play an instrument seems like magic to those who can't. They're thinking, "Wow! You must have some rare talent or it must have taken years to master." I'm sure it doesn't seem like such a big deal to you the musician.

It's exactly the same in sync. Once you know how to connect with the right people in music licensing and establish those relationships, you'll wonder why you didn't start sooner!

Myth 5

I CAN'T FIND OPPORTUNITIES IN MY STYLE

Did you know that meditation music gets licensed all the time?

There is a spot for almost every kind of music out there. If you are in a smaller niche, then you are actually a big fish in a smaller pond. This means still plenty of sync opportunities but with a lot less competition.

Just always remember, there are music supervisors looking for your songs or compositions no matter the style. They just haven't heard it yet!

Bonus #5

Just before your pitch sessions with the music supervisors, I will do a live call and tell you what works and what doesn’t when you are talking face to face with them. It will be fresh in your mind when the supervisors get to meet you and your music.
