WHAT IS THE STUDENT MUSIC NETWORK?
 

 


SMN is a digital web based platform connecting students to the music industry and digital technologies.

HOW CAN IT HELP?
SMN can help students via their schools and colleges submit their very own music for promotion, marketing and distribution via our digital MP3 shop. We also give guidance how the new digital music technologies work and give you the skills associated with these technologies as used in the music industry.

 

WHY JOIN SMN?
All schools and colleges teach music in the national curriculum and some students study music as a subject. Colleges also specialise in music courses such as BTEC and NCFE. SMN bridges the gap between schools and the music industry.

SMN is set up to instantly distribute, market and sell digital music via its downloadrecords system and stream/share students music via our intelligent student widget.

We can even offer a route to release a commercial release 'Chart Registered' and supply all the important meta data information required by industry. (ISRC, UPC codes etc.) The first Student Music Network album will soon be available on I-Tunes containing music form students across the UK.

YOUR SCHOOL OR COLLEGE COULD MAKE THE CHARTS
SMN is aimed at school and college music departments who want to give students a little extra and help them see how the digital music industry works first hand. After all, most students are downloading music onto their phones and computers, so why not give them the skills to distribute their own material?

SMN can advise you on how to set up your own record label as a school project and offer label management of material. We can also offer a visit by one of our experienced industry advisors who can offer a small workshop on how the music industry works and how best use our system.
Student Music Network Widget  
CLEVER LITTLE WIDGET
At the heart of
SMN we offer schools and colleges access to our student widget. Any student in the UK can download the intelligent SMN student widget to their computer desk top.

It offers streaming of music, video and news items. Best of all it tells students about new tracks and content automatically.

NOW IMAGINE THIS:
All schools and colleges send SMN new music by students, pictures, news items etc, once loaded into our system every student with the SMN widget receives information instantly!

MP3 SALES
Via our download system, sales of student's work are paid with royalty statements to each college for redistribution to students.

COPYRIGHT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
All material made available to
SMN remains the work of the student (artists). We supply advice on issues such as copyright control, the PRS/MCPS and PPL.

By supplying material to
SMN you can protect it , as a submission to SMN contains dates and writers information, so in the event of any 3rd party claim we can provide proof of origin.
