This class is all about how bands (and any musical collaborators) work together.
Everything you need to know to survive the music industry. Copyright, Trademarks, Selling Beats, Sampling, and more!
In this class, we start with the most basic question: How do we define music? Once we have a definition, we start to look at how music is protected with copyright, ways that it isn't, and how to work with it for fun and profit. I'll walk you through every step of the issue and explain the logic behind every concept.
This series is pulled directly from the courses I've created for my university position in Music Business. All of these courses are designed for the everyday musician - amateur or professional - who has little or no knowledge on the topic, but wants to master it.
Here is a list of some of the questions we will answer:
· Defining Music

J. Anthony Allen is a creator of things. Sometimes they’re related to music, but not always. He uses his background as a composer to inform whatever he sets his mind to creating, whether it’s music for an orchestra, a business, an app, a new electronic instrument, or ideas for his next composition (ask him about sailing the Arctic in nonstop sunlight).
While he was born and raised in Michigan and now lives in Minneapolis, Allen and his work have traveled the world, covering most of Europe in the process. He’s written music for almost any medium you can imagine, from film and the Minnesota Orchestra to TV, radio, and video games.
As a creator, he wants to push forward with a purpose. He founded Slam Academy in Minneapolis because he wanted to make electronic music education accessible and affordable. To a similar end, he wrote a book called Music Theory for Electronic Music Producers. Allen is all about connecting the dots, and using one area of his expertise to inform another.
Which is why he’s a: composer, producer, songwriter, engineer, sound designer, DJ, remix artist,
multimedia artist, performer, inventor, Ableton Live Certified Trainer, entrepreneur, and Assistant Professor of Music, Media, and Management at Augsburg University.
