Music Supervisor Contact Information

Prepared by Jim Brandmeier

Recommendation: Have the music department purchase the Film & Television Music Guide to keep on hand as a reference resource for any students interested in submitting their music to TV & Film.

Musicregistry.com:  The Music Business Registry: Film & Television Music Guide

Songwriteruniverse.com: Music Supervisors Directory (Free online list)

Students can upload their music to certain online libraries that specialize in placing music in TV, Film and Advertising, from the comfort of their home. There is no cost. Their music may or may not be accepted. Once the music is accepted, the company will place music and send payment directly to the writer: I recommend starting with the following libraries.

Position Music:  www.positionmusic.com

Jingle Punks: www.jinglepunks.com

Also…

Broadjam.com – A local Madison Wisconsin company specializing in pitching the music of independent artists to TV & Film.

An educational collaboration by WSMA and PBS Wisconsin Education

Re/sound: Songs of Wisconsin
In a state-wide survey and listening sessions with music educators, we learned about the need for current, authentic, culturally diverse resources, as well as support in teaching with and about music from different cultures. This multimedia collection for general music programs serving grades 4-8 includes video interviews with Wisconsin musicians, performances, audio files, and educator engagement guides designed to help activate the media with learners.
