Courtney Harrell’s Berklee Online masterclass, ‘Get Heard: Promoting Yourself & Navigating the Music Industry,’ will take place August 5 from 7-9 PM ET.

BOSTON, July 12, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — On Monday, August 5 from 7-9 PM ET, Berklee Online is offering the $99 masterclass Get Heard: Promoting Yourself & Navigating the Music Industry. Taught by Grammy-winning songwriter Courtney Harrell, this masterclass will empower students with the tools and insights needed to engage an audience, build a brand, monetize their talent, and leave a lasting impact on the music industry. Masterclasses are Berklee Online‘s most affordable and efficient offering, making the renowned curriculum and prestigious instructors of Berklee College of Music accessible to the public.

“I want to make sure the students are prepared because there really is no preparing for this business unless you get out there. Let me tell you what it really is and how to best prepare yourself for it.” — Courtney Harrell

“I want to make sure the students are prepared because there really is no preparing for this business unless you get out there,” says Harrell. “Let me tell you what it really is and how to best prepare yourself for it. I’m grateful for this because it’s a chance for me to go back and say what I wish someone had said to me.”

Harrell is currently a producer for “America’s Got Talent,” and was previously a semi-finalist on season 11 of “The Voice.” She has co-written songs for Mary J. Blige, Ariana Grande, and Brandy, and has also written music featured in shows like “Grey’s Anatomy” and movies like “Think Like a Man.” The 2022 song “SNAP” that she co-wrote with Rosa Linn has been streamed more than 1.3 billion times on Spotify. Harrell attended Berklee College of Music on a full scholarship, after studying with Berklee’s City Music program as a teenager.

In Harrell’s two-hour masterclass, students will start with an exploration of how they can articulate and refinine their personal narrative in a way that resonates powerfully with their audience and stakeholders. Next they will look at ways to develop and maintain a personal brand that stands out. They will go on to learn strategies on how to deliver a pitch with confidence and authenticity while mastering how to monetize creative skills and turn their passion into a profitable career. At the end of the session, Harrell will go over how to foster meaningful connections and build long-term relationships in the industry that will help students enhance their influence and reach.

Get Heard: Promoting Yourself & Navigating the Music Industry is enrolling now through August 4.

“I want to emphasize, it’s not ‘get heard just so that your song gets played,'” says Harrell. “It’s ‘get heard so that you can stay in the conversation.’ My name is still respected in the conversation, if not more now, because I’ve been in so many different rooms. Who you work with is important because they’re going to be the ones who keep you in the conversation. They’re going to be the ones who keep bringing you the work.”

Supporting Local Independent Music Venues and Artists

DALLAS, Sept. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Dallas based Mullen & Mullen Law Firm proudly announces the launch of the Mullen & Mullen Music Project, a dynamic initiative created in partnership with Spune Productions. The collaboration is designed to celebrate and rejuvenate the North Texas music scene by offering a platform for both emerging and established artists. The initiative kicked off with a Concert Series at local independent music venues.

Supporting Local Talent and Venues
Running from August to April, the Mullen & Mullen Music Project will feature 12 concerts at some of North Texas’s most cherished venues. The series kicked off on August 6th with a performance by Ben Nichols of Lucero at Club Dada.

The Quaker City Night Hawks concert was filmed on professional grade video cameras installed at the venue by the Music Project and live-edited by the firm’s videographer Sean Pollaro – himself a musician. The new cameras at Tulips FTW will serve as a wonderful content creation tool for local artists.

Enhancing the Music Experience
The Music Project has allowed participating venues to expedite substantial upgrades already underway. Ferris Wheelers Live has enhanced its suites and stage while embarking on an ambitious Ferris Wheel lighting project. Club Dada has upgraded its outdoor patio stage, and Tulips FTW installed the beforementioned state-of-the-art video and streaming system, enabling artists to record music and stream live performances. Each venue will also feature new murals designed and created by local artists.

A Community-Centered Initiative
Shane Mullen, Managing Attorney at Mullen & Mullen Law Firm, shared the firm’s vision: “The trust and loyalty of the North Texas community have been the foundation of our success. This project is our way of giving back by enriching the local cultural landscape and supporting the artists and venues that make our region unique.”
