What People Are Saying

“Dear Aaron,

I just finished listening to the entire course, The Ultimate Music Licensing Guide and I want to let you know my thoughts.

Over the last few years I have done my own research into music licensing and taken courses (including one by a Music Supervisor). It has proven to be a real challenge to find information that can be used to get somewhere in the business of music licensing. Your Ultimate Music Licensing Guide is just what I have been looking for. It touches on and clarifies many aspects of the business so for the first time I feel I have a detailed roadmap I can use to confidently plan out the steps I need to take to get my music licensed. Thank you.

Best,

Steve
