The project is being organized in partnership with CENDA (Cuban Copyright Office), CISAC, ADAMI and a group of experienced Cuban musicians. This is an introductory seminar to equip ISA students with practical tools and knowledge of their rights, and so assist them in the development of their careers. Throughout the years, even though Cuban musicians have gained the reputation of being extremely well-trained professionals, they often lack the knowledge and tools to operate in a commercial environment and may take up engagements that run counter to their professional development. The aim of integrating, within the curricula of the ISA, a training module on the basics of copyright and contractual practices is to inform would-be musicians about the realities of their future professional environment. This project, developed largely by the UNESCO Office in Havana, aims to systemize such knowledge for transmission to authors, composers and interpreters in other Music Schools in the Latin American region.
