The Secret of Music Supervision

Have you ever wondered how to become a music supervisor? Or are you confused about what a music supervisor actually does? Well, I recently read the best description of the subject – music supervision – that I have ever seen. It said,
“What music supervision is not: a navel-gazing activity for music nerds and folks with big record collections. But do not despair. If you want to do this work, get established in an aspect of the business other than supervision and network, network, network. Music supervision is for people with musical acuity who are established in the music industry at some level (as artists, business people, etc.). It is also for those who know the language of music and film better than most. Music supervision is a craft–all these rules are difficult to apply and must be applied with sensitivity to each other. Follow these 10 rules and you will beat out the poseurs.” (Thompson)
Are you wondering what the 10 rules are?
