The Southern African Music Rights Organisation (SAMRO), in collaboration with the Academy of Sound Engineering (ASE), is pleased to announce the thirty (30) candidates selected to receive fully funded bursaries for the Music Business Masterclass (MBM), scheduled to commence on 05 May 2025.

This pioneering initiative is designed specifically to empower SAMRO members from Gauteng and the Western Cape Province by providing them with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills necessary to navigate the complexities and dynamics of the ever-evolving music industry.

The MBM programme represents a significant component of SAMRO's Corporate Social Investment (CSI) strategy, aimed at cultivating a thorough understanding of the multifaceted music business landscape. The curriculum has been meticulously developed to encompass critical areas of the music industry, including but not limited to copyright laws, various royalty streams, contract negotiation, marketing strategies, and emerging industry trends. By covering these essential topics, the programme ensures that participants are not only equipped to tackle the challenges they may encounter but also poised to exploit the myriad opportunities available in the industry.

As we move forward to the next stage, SAMRO extends its congratulations to all the recipients, celebrating your commitment to personal and professional development. As you embark on this transformative journey, we are excited to see how you will leverage the insights gained from this masterclass to make a meaningful impact within the music industry.
