SOCAN is pleased and proud to announce the launch of SOCAN Academy, a new resource library designed specifically to support you throughout your music career. Whether you’re just starting out or embarking on a new project and need some guidance, SOCAN Academy can help.
SOCAN Academy covers various topics, with a focus on three main learning objectives: Working with SOCAN, Career Development, and Craft Development.
Within these categories, you’ll learn from SOCAN employees, music industry experts, and fellow members. Through this series of learning resources, we’ll introduce you to some of our SOCAN executives and employees, who’ll provide expert insights on significant topics, to deepen your understanding of the music ecosystem, and SOCAN’s role in it.
SOCAN Academy already has a collection of articles, videos, and tutorials to get you started, and we’ll continue to grow, build, and share new resources regularly.
While we specialize in many areas of rights management, we also believe in the value of hearing from other industry experts, and your fellow SOCAN members. Our goal is to build a community where we can learn from each other, continually expanding our range to address the subjects about which you want to know more.
