How to charge for my Music: some thoughts on how to construct a budget

Share this:

Following a lot of chat on social media about what constitutes adequate remuneration for composing original music, this short unscripted film offers a few ideas about how to value your music.

It’s intended primarily to be an “aide memoire” to help composers think about the basic elements to consider when starting to construct a budget.

I hope you find it helpful!
