Some good tips and cool advise...

This will help the clueless musician with absolutely no hookups or inside plugs in the film and Tv industry looking to get soundtrack or scoring work fast.

Excellent book for the savvy musician/composer

Ah, now here's a book that can really pay for itself many times over. RIchard Jay explains HOW HOW HOW to get your music placed in film, TV and similar outlets--instead of stringing a bunch of anecdotes about how successful he has been, like some books do. He's got websites to visit, organizations to join, tips galore in this small book. Price ranges for various uses are discussed, and this is essential for the novice. THe chapters on the basics (copyright 101, etc.) are short, so if you don't know anything at all about this business, you will want to start with something more extensive, perhaps. As for me, I've already placed a couple of cues on TV shows in the USA and Canada, but am searching for info on how to expand these sales, and how to market my music more effectively to these clients, and this book is definitely going to be helpful.

FINALLY !!! A BOOK COMPOSERS CAN UNDERSTAND !!!

Richard Jay's "How To Get Your Music In Films and TV" is a Godsend for people like me, who usually find books written by "music insiders" to be confusing. In plain , easily understood language, Richard teaches you the "ins and outs" of the Film and TV industries, as they relate to music. The "how" is also explained.....and this book is a rich resource of Film and TV Websites containing very valuable,"up to date" contact,,,,, and "current productions" info !!!
