Whether you’re an independent artist or an aspiring music business professional, education is a huge part of navigating this industry. In an effort to help educate, TuneCore has teamed up with  Economic Development Department in Austin’s Music and Entertainment Division to offer FREE ‘Master Classes’ next Wednesday and Thursday.

Taught by TuneCore’s Manager of Entertainment Relations in our new Austin office, Amy Lombardi, you’ll have the chance to soak in a TON of information about getting your music heard worldwide and the collection of sales revenue and songwriter royalties. Because if you’re writing, performing and trying to distribute your music independently, it never hurts to be armed with knowledge!

Classes will be about an hour, and will also include a Q&A session afterwards. Laptops will be available for registrants to use during the interactive portion of class, or you are welcome to bring your own. Seating is based on an RSVP/first-come, first-serve basis, so if you live in the Austin area, make sure to sign up!
