Now is the right time to become an American Federation of Musicians member. From ragtime to rap, from the early phonograph to today's digital recordings, the AFM has been there for its members. And now there are more benefits available to AFM members than ever before, including a multi-million dollar pension fund, excellent contract protection, instrument and travelers insurance, work referral programs and access to licensed booking agents to keep you working.

As an AFM member, you are part of a membership of more than 80,000 musicians. Experience has proven that collective activity on behalf of individuals with similar interests is the most effective way to achieve a goal. The AFM can negotiate agreements and administer contracts, procure valuable benefits and achieve legislative goals. A single musician has no such power.

The AFM has a proud history of managing change rather than being victimized by it. We find strength in adversity, and when the going gets tough, we get creative - all on your behalf.

Like the industry, the AFM is also changing and evolving, and its policies and programs will move in new directions dictated by its members. As a member, you will determine these directions through your interest and involvement. Your membership card will be your key to participation in governing your union, keeping it responsive to your needs and enabling it to serve you better.

Orchestration Course Offered to Members in Boston, Washington, DC, and Toronto

  -  

Local 47 (Los Angeles, CA) member Norman Ludwin will offer a half-day orchestration seminar to members of Local 161-710 (Washington, DC), Local 9-535 (Boston, MA), and Local 149 (Toronto, ON) this spring. Ludwin has been working in the recording industry as an orchestrator and bassist for more than 35 years. Recent orchestration credits include Priest, Super-8, and John Carter.

An instructor in the UCLA Extension Film Music department, he has been teaching a similar eight-week course in orchestration at Local 47 for the past 10 years. Offered free of charge, the course has become somewhat of a recruitment tool for the local. “The response has been fantastic,” says Ludwin. “They are always filled up and there are waiting lists.”

“We are trying to focus on composers, orchestrators, arrangers, and other people interested in learning how to write for real instruments for film composition or video games,” he explains. Much of the course content is contained in his book Orchestration, A New Approach: A 15 Lesson Course, which is used by several universities.

Course dates are: Washington, DC: April 5; Boston: April 7; and Toronto April 8. Please contact the locals directly for further information.
