India’s copyright society representing composers, lyricists and publishers The Indian Performing Right Society Limited (IPRS), has announced the second phase of the #HERMUSIC campaign – #EmpowerHERMUSIC.
It will commence with an hour-long session, ‘Education in Music’ on 8 July 2021 at 5 PM. The session will be live on the IPRS Facebook page, hosted in association with Music Meleti and Dolby Laboratories. The session will focus on opportunities in music study, introducing the audience to over 25K courses and 400 universities worldwide.
Rakesh Nigam, CEO, IPRS, said, “We received a very encouraging response to the first leg of the campaign #UnleashHerMusic. Women songwriters, composers, independent artists, and industry insiders leading in their respective domains came together expressing their views on the under-representation of women in the field of music. We are glad to continue our efforts to encourage women in music and launch the next phase of the initiative – #EmpowerHerMusic to inform/educate female creators and create opportunities to know and hear from the best in the industry. Even though the number is still very less, we have started to witness female creators making their mark in the industry. We hope that with more initiatives in this direction, we will be able to unleash the untapped talent pool.”
The initiative will entail community outreach and music programmes. #EmpowerHERMUSIC will also serve as a platform to educate young musicians through song-writing bootcamps. Some of the topics to be covered are:
– The Art of Music Composing
– Music Beyond Songs
– Creating Magic through Sound – Sound Design & Mixing Masterclass
– A session on Music Rights & Intellectual Property
– Know-how About Building the Brand through Social Media & PR and
– Insights on Distribution & Marketing of Music.
