SUMMERFOLK MUSIC BIZ TUNE UP: DEVELOPING A BUSINESS PLAN 101 September 23, 2017, 9:15am @ Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre (1900 3rd Ave. E., Owen Sound, ON)
MusicOntario Communities Connect is all about bridging the gaps between Ontario’s vibrant music markets! During our Community Development Research Project (CDRP), we asked musicians, artists and industry professionals across the province what types of support and education they hoped to have access to regionally (you can read the full results at www.music-ontario.ca). The Georgian Bay Folk Society and Summerfolk have programmed monthly “Music Biz Tune Ups” in 2017 to cover various pertinent topics for those building their careers in music. Remember your musician friends who learned four chords and started telling people they were going to be rock stars? It turns out that having a successful career is more complicated than that. The Music Business is an industry that you have to be strategic and think about long-term in order to succeed. Rosalyn Dennett and Emy Stantcheva will share their expertise to help you to understand the various facets of it that you need to master as you build a business plan, so that you can turn dreams into reality.
