What you will learn

DropCue University covers the part of a music career that the craft does not teach: how to license your music, how publishing and royalties actually work, how to pitch the right track to the right music supervisor, and how to build and run your own music library. 42 in-depth lessons across 6 tracks, animated slide decks, and 45 downloadable templates, checklists, and trackers you can use immediately.

It is built for independent composers and songwriters, artists pitching to film, TV, and ads, and anyone building a music library who wants to get placed and get paid properly. Read and negotiate a licensing deal with confidence, understand how you earn and collect royalties, and pitch music that actually fits the brief.
