Calling for AFM Member Recordings
|  The AFM's new online music store, GoPro Tunes (www.goprotunes.com), is now collecting recordings - singles, EPs, or full albums - from AFM members. They want jazz, indie rock, classical, avant-garde, salsa, bluegrass, folk and everything in between!
When the AFM gathers enough music to have a full, diverse catalog, they'll announce GoPro Tunes to the public, selling digital audio files (e.g. MP3s), similar to Apple's iTunes or Amazon MP3. Besides the storefront at www.goprotunes.com, you'll be able to link to your GoPro Tunes page from your own website or social networking profile.
Sign up today! Visit http://www.goprotunes.com/
As an AFM member, you set your own prices, pay no upfront fees and receive back all revenue from your sales, minus only credit card processing fees. This is a value that can't be beat anywhere, including popular services such as CDBaby and Tunecore.
Sending music to GoPro Tunes is quick and easy. With a simple online interface, you can upload your music, cover art and album details, usually with everything approved and ready-to-go within one business day. Best yet, AFM staff is available for assistance every step of the way.
Concerned that you don't have an AFM recording agreement? Don't worry! The AFM's Joint Venture Report was designed with self-producing artists in mind, and they'll be glad to work with you to bring your previous or future recordings under this agreement. Contact them at reach@goprotunes.com for more information.
Don't miss this opportunity to sell your music online. GoPro Tunes is one of many valuable services available to AFM members at no charge. Virtually every other music store is a for-profit entity - not true for the AFM's GoPro Tunes! And you can sell your music anywhere else you'd like; selling music on GoPro Tunes is non-exclusive.

Charleston Symphony Call to Action
|
CSO
proposal would have reduced Musician salaries by
84%
CHARLESTON,
SC
- The 34 musicians of the Charleston Symphony have overwhelmingly rejected the
terms of an Interim Operating Agreement ("IOA") that would have slashed salaries
by 84% for the majority of musicians and substantially reduced the Symphony's
performances for the 2010-2011 season.
Marty
Klaper, Chair of the Bargaining Committee for the CSO Board of Directors,
presented the terms of the IOA to musician representatives on May 14. In
balloting that took place May 19 and 20, the musicians voted down the proposal,
nearly unanimously. "We anticipated an
unpalatable offer," said Players Association representative and spokesperson,
Ryan Leveille, "but were completely taken aback by the austerity of this
proposal. We decided to put the terms to
the full body of musicians and were not surprised by their overwhelming
rejection. I don't know if the CSOA
sincerely believed that it would be able to staff an orchestra for such low
wages."

Richardson Symphony Call to Action
|
Many of you may be aware of the recent unfortunate events at the Richardson
Symphony. After repeatedly waiting weeks and even months to be paid for
concerts, the musicians decided to publicize management's failure to pay
them under the contract. They issued a press release and notified the
public that they would engage in informational picketing at their May 8
concert. Orchestra committee chairman and Principal Trumpet, Bert Truax,
was quoted in the press release - a suitable action for a union leader in
the orchestra.
The musicians' attempt to deal with their workplace
problem was protected union activity, and hardly surprising. But what
happened next was shocking, indeed.

Instrumental Music Opportunity
|
I'm trying to get the word out to people who might be interested in the
opportunity to run a fee-based before and after school band and orchestra
program in Douglas County. They currently have an RFP posted (Request for
Proposal) for an elementary instrumental music program. I started such a
program this school year in the Rock Canyon feeder area - www.rceim.webs.com. This was an area that cut
their program and laid me off, but then asked if I would consider doing this as
my own business. It is working fairly well for me. I'm well under what I would
have made on a full contract, but it is respectable considering the economy, all
the cuts, and the lack of opportunity. I can still do what I love and it works
for being Mom to my little girl.
I'm hoping that you might know some enterprising instrumental music
teachers who would be interested in running such a program. The district is
looking for people to take on most likely other individual feeder areas. I'm
attaching the official RFP. There is a mandatory pre-bid meeting on Tuesday May
11 at 4:00 p.m. - the location is listed in the RFP.
I am passionate about making sure elementary instrumental music doesn't go
by the wayside in DCSD, especially when they are very interested in finding some
way to continue it. Please forward to people who you think might be interested. I can also be a potential resource for someone who might like to do this, but
might want some help setting it up.
Thank you, Debbie Davidson-Stanfill |

AFM-EPF Pension Rehabilitation Plan
| The
Pension Protection Act of 2006 requires the funding "zone status" for defined
benefit multiemployer plans including the American Federation of Musicians and
Employers' Pension Fund (the "Plan") to be certified each year by the plan's
actuary. On April 15, 2010 the actuary
for the Plan certified the Plan to be in "critical status" (also known as the
"red zone") for the Plan year beginning April 1, 2010. The significance of entering critical status
is that the Plan's Board of Trustees (the "Board") is required by law to adopt a
"rehabilitation plan" designed to improve the Plan's financial health and to
allow it to emerge from critical status.
On April 15, 2010 the
Board adopted a rehabilitation plan (the "Rehabilitation Plan") consistent with
this requirement. Click Here for more information.

Time to Review Workplace Reviews?
| Time to Review Workplace Reviews?
By TARA PARKER-POPE - NY Times
May 17, 2010
... Samuel A. Culbert, a clinical psychologist who teaches at the Anderson School of Management at the University of California, Los Angeles, says too many people work in a "toxic" environment, and the title of his new book (from Hachette) throws a spotlight on one of the culprits: "Get Rid of the Performance Review!"
Annual reviews not only create a high level of stress for workers, he argues, but end up making everybody - bosses and subordinates - less effective at their jobs. He says reviews are so subjective - so dependent on the worker's relationship with the boss - as to be meaningless. He says he has heard from countless workers who say their work life was ruined by an unfair review.Click Here for complete story

Moment of Truth for U.S. Productivity Boom
| Wall Street Journal
By JUSTIN LAHART
GREENSBORO, N.C.-As the long recession lifts, American
businesses are grappling with a big question: Are we working smarter, or
simply working harder? The answer will say a lot about the strength
of the economy in the coming years.
Fearing for their jobs, American
workers are scrambling to produce more for every hour of work. Call it the
hustle factor. At the same time, new machinery and new ways of doing things
are boosting productivity. Call it the brain factor.
Both forces are at work: Productivity in the fourth quarter
2009 rose 5.8% from a year earlier, the biggest jump since 2002. Unlike
recent downturns, when productivity shrank and then rebounded, it kept
growing throughout most of the past recession.
Now the question is
whether the biggest gains have come from hustle or brains.
An
important indicator comes Thursday when the Labor Department releases
first-quarter productivity figures. Economists polled by Dow Jones
Newswires estimate productivity rose at a 2.5% annual rate, less than
half its 6.9% growth rate in the fourth quarter.
Most economists
think it will be harder to sustain gains built on working harder. If
productivity slows over the coming quarters-say, falling back closer to its
50-year average growth rate of 2.1%-it has big implications. Lower
productivity actually should reduce short-term unemployment because
companies have to hire more workers to do the same
amount of work.

Announces auditions for the 2010-2011 season
May 29/June 5, 2010
All String Players (violin, viola, cello, and double bass) between the ages of 13 and 29 are welcome to audition. Interested woodwind, horn and trumpet players may also audition for our programs that include winds.
The CYS is a chamber orchestra comprised of the finest middle school, high school, collegiate, and young professional string players in the region. We seek a complement of 14 violins, 6 violas, 6 celli, and 3 double basses, but will fill our roster with only the most highly qualified players.
The CYS presents three to four programs each season, with most programs being performed at least twice. This orchestra provides an opportunity to learn repertoire not usually programmed by larger ensembles, and may serve as a unique supplement to a full orchestra experience.
2010-201 repertoire highlights will include: Elgar Introduction and Allegro, Brahms String Quartet in c minor and Mendelssohn String Symphony #9 and our annual baroque program. We will also collaborate with eminent local artists in concerto appearances. Past guest soloists include Linda Wang, Ricardo Iznaola, Alice Rybak, Bil Jackson, Michael Thornton, Lisa Martin , Claude Sim and Eugenia Alikhanova.
For more information, application forms, or to request an audition time, please call 720-371-4145, email bvendryes@msn.com. Auditions may also be made by appointment.

Quiet
Song for Band- Grade 1/2, by Debbie Davidson.
A great song for the
first band concert of the year! It uses the first five notes typically used in
band method books, and is inspired by "Bolero." A quiet tune begins with the
flutes and then gradually all of the instruments are added for a big climax
before it tapers back down to the flutes. Sure to be a crowd-pleaser!

Finale to Beethoven Symphony No. 9- Grade 2+
for full orchestra and SAB chorus, Debbie Davidson.
Arranged to make this
amazing classic accessible for middle school students. Key signatures and
changes are simplified. Vocal parts are all doubled, and the Baritone part is
optional. An advanced part is included for extra support - when this piece was
premiered at Cherry Creek Academy, a teacher played this advanced part on the
cello and an advanced piano student played it on piano. Most of the second parts
(i.e. second clarinet, second flute, second violin) can be handled by students
in their second year of instruction. The Cherry Creek Academy performance
involved singers, grades 5 - 8, band members, grades 6 - 8, and orchestra
members, grades 6-8.
