LEGACY COURSES

Reading Your Statements   (TBA)

        Many artists suffer from the "Tear and Toss" Syndrome.  They tear the check off and toss it across the room.  The Stepney Family suffered with this for years before taking the time to read and analyze their statements.  This course will review common mistakes, made in accounting and how to review them.  Our CPA,s and accountants have discovered fail-proof ways to recognize errors and misleading statements.  We will also show what an accurate and fair statement looks like and how they differ from the poor statements.  We'll review how to digitize them, file and save for future audits as needed.

Chatting with the Majors about Your Money   (TBA)

            One of the most challenging conversations you can have is with a Major Entertainment Company.  It can be near impossible to find the right person to assist you with your concerns.  Are they ignoring you? We don't think so, but this course will show you how to recognize the tell tale signs.  We'll outline the common departments in a record companie and how to locate who you're looking for in the most strategic way.  It is common to feel slighted when working with a large conglomerate but this course reviews the departments, the offices, their roles and how you fit in.

The Right Behind Your Rights   (TBA)  

This is a copyright course for the creative mind.  We will review the copyright law and explain how it may affect you and your works.  This is a fun and informative course that walks you through the law from its inception to it's modern status in the digital world as well as it's influence worldwide. You'll become the expert you need to be when your legal representation doesn't feel like it.

Compiling and Cataloging   (TBA)

Protecting your art in it's real form is as important as protecting the creation of it.  This course reviews many ways to preserve and maintain the art for future generations.
