Welcome, Brian Medway
Posted: Fri Dec 28, 2007 9:57 pm
Please join me in welcoming Brian Medway as a RickResource Forum Consultant in what promises to be an exciting and revealing journey through the hallowed halls of the music business.
As a former professional musician who has experienced both the highs and lows of success and disappointment, Brian will focus on the hidden mysteries of the business and give you a forum to discuss the management of your career or your part time or amateur band. From my earlier discussions with him he promises that no stone will remain unturned.
This RickResource Forum topic area will also provide a place discuss the various influences that affect the management of a professional music career. Discussions will focus on the sharing of practical experience and Brian will be prepared to offer advice on how to navigate the deeper waters of the music business. The role of agents, managers, publishers and record companies can be explored and discussed in depth. He will also invite discussion on such topics as royalties, mechanical recording rights, song writing and copyright protection.
Aside from helping people understand "the business" of being a musician, Brian welcomes discussions that focus on what instruments were played or how they were played. He invites discussions on how to develop technique and feel in playing styles. This forum will also take an insider's look from a player's viewpoint at the music of all eras starting with the early beginnings of Rock ‘n Roll, stopping at Rhythm and Blues.
