You will learn more from Amanda Williams’s 101 & 202 Workbooks and Workshops in a very short amount of time than you could spending years in schools or living in Nashville, because the information is right on time, way ahead of most schools and other educators out there, and is presented in a really clear, entertaining way.

Do I get the books now or do I have to attend workshops?
Of course we want everyone to attend the 101 and 202 workshops in person, but we realize that for some people who live on the other side of the world (or just in New Jersey) you can’t always get to Nashville to attend. So... 1.) Order the workbooks, 2.) Join our community, and 3.) Get ready to attend our workshops that are coming to centralized locations near you soon.
Getting Started the Right Way in the New Millennium of Music Business Workbook covers the basics that every professional songwriter should know. What are you doing from a business standpoint when you are writing songs? You’re creating intellectual property in the form of copyright. 101 covers what copyright is, and details which royalty streams go with which rights of copy. Think you want a publishing deal? Learn what that really means and what happens to your property when you enter into the various kinds of deals. Also covered in 101 are some basic tips about Nashville industry practices that may be puzzling to you, and what you need to know to set up your catalogue for pitching purposes. This is a great primer for writers who never learned about the “business” side of “show business” and makes a great review for veteran writers. $35 plus $5 shipping.

Brand You Workbook is all about how branding and marketing apply to the songwriter and performing artist, though the principles presented can be applied to any industry. In today’s digital market, it’s important to stand out from the glut of mediocre music and products available to the public thanks to the Internet. Brand You details a sustainable, principle based method of figuring out what makes your music unique, and helps you articulate that to your target market. Included is a case study of Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People applied to indie guru, Derek Sivers (who sold his CD Baby for $22 million, donating the money to a charitable trust for music education). This workbook is a great motivator for those who feel stuck, or like your music isn’t being appreciated by industry folks.
