The Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) in partnership with the Music in Africa
Foundation presents a seminar on “Leveraging Digital Tools for Career Enhancement.” The program is a part of the Music in Africa Live (MIAL) project which is supported by the German Federal Foreign Office, Siemens Stiftung, and Goethe-Institute. The seminar is scheduled for Tuesday, August 16, 2022, at Kumasi, center for national culture(CNC), Quarshie Idun Hall@ at 10 am.
According to the acting MUSIGA President, Bessa Simons, “The program forms part of the capacity building programs planned by the national leadership of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) to improve the capacities of members in particular and musicians, in general, to remain competitive in the ever-changing music industry.
He added that the seminar “will also serve as a Training of Trainers workshop since we cannot possibly reach all musicians nationwide directly so that those who participate in the program can go back to their home regions and share the knowledge.”
Topics to be discussed at the seminar include, “Building and Managing Your Brand” by Prof Emmanuel Osei Akyeampong, “The New Music Business” to be presented by Ahuma Bosco Ocansey, an industry veteran and Director of Special Projects and Communications of MUSIGA, and “Making Money in the Digital Space” to be presented by Kwabena ‘Spikey’ Ofei Kwadey Nkrumah.
The train moves to Kumasi on Tuesday, August 23, 2022. The sessions will be streamed live on Facebook on the Musicians Union of Ghana page.
Therefore, the musician union of Ghana urges all musicians and music people to attend this training for their benefit.
