EMI, Downtown, Shapiro Bernstein and Savoir Adore Educate at ASCAP’s Night School

Posted: June 5, 2014

Copyrights, co-publishing, exploitation, synchronization; these are some of the terms that were thrown around throughout the first class of ASCAP and Music Unites’ Night School series. The joint endeavor, created to provide support and accessibility to emerging musical artists, kicked off Tuesday night at New York’s Norwood Club with ‘Music Publishing 101′. The dimly lit fourth floor parlor served as classroom, and the professors; a panel of publishing management from Downtown, Shapiro Bernstein and EMI. ASCAP’s Director, Pop/Rock and Film & TV Music Marc Emert-Hutner guided the casual discussion, allowing the panel to share their diverse experiences within the industry with the room of 50 participants. Those in attendance were mostly writers and performers but the group also included managers and lawyers.
