| From SOCAN: a HACE(TM) Mini Series |
The Brampton Arts Council was pleased to host an over filled room with attentive musicians and music fans alike, eager to learn and update themselves with the latest information from Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN).The seminar, presented by the knowledgeable Rodney Murphy, SOCAN’s Education & Outreach Manager was held this past Tuesday, February 8th at the Brampton Golf Club. This was the first HACE Mini Series held this year.
Murphy kept the room uplifted with his humorous character focusing on the importance of becoming a member of SOCAN and how to protect musician’s rights and earn residuals in music artistry. During his carefully planned and thorough presentation, Murphy answered questions from enthusiastic participants, with a definite note of experience and passion for the business. Rodney discussed SOCAN’s status as a non-profit organization that is kept alive to ensure the proper distribution of funds among well-deserved artists, song writers and musicians.
In conclusion, everyone left more informed, motivated to improve their existing status and looking forward to future HACE workshops, Mini or otherwise. See more images from the workshop here
