Chamber Music America (CMA) today announced the 2006­2007 schedule for

jazz and classical musicians. This year, the seminars will be presented in

Church (619 Lexington Avenue at 54th Street) on the first Tuesday of the

Seminar topics include advice on getting airplay for recordings (presented
by radio host Gary Walker), the ins and outs of copyright protection
(presented by entertainment-industry attorney Robert Clarida), and an
introduction to web-based marketing techniques (by jazz industry expert Jim
Eigo). Other sessions will focus on the availability of residency and
commissioning grants for musicians, including how to best use the resources
of CMA to seek such support. On May 1, a ³Grant Fair² will give musicians
