Workshop Overview
The NYU/BMI Workshop is an intensive three-day seminar dedicated to the business and techniques of producing and composing music for advertising, corporate branding and music production libraries. These areas constitute the world’s most heard music and provide major revenue streams for composers.

Spearheaded by award-winning media composer Andy Bloch (Human: Music and Sound Design), the faculty and panelists will feature composer Peter Nashel (Duotone Audio Group), music producer Keith D'Arcy (Universal Music Publishing Group) and composer Mitch Coodley (Metro Music Library). In a dynamic mix of informative industry panels, faculty critiques sessions and live recordings in the state-of-the-art NYU James Dolan recording studio, participating composers will produce and record their music with top-tier musicians and engineers, under real-world conditions.
• Study with acclaimed media composers and faculty who have produced music for thousands of advertising spots, production libraries and scores for television and film.
