Have you heard of Taylor Swift? Well, of course you have. And chances are you know about the dispute with her former record label over the ownership of the masters of her first six studio albums. Out of this, she re-released the previously recorded albums from 2021 through 2023 to gain COMPLETE OWNERSHIP of her music. What does this have to do with Bookling Media, you might ask? An author's ownership of their work is just as important as a singer’s rights are in the music industry space. The book industry should be taking notes and making the same changes. And now, with our new book FLOAT, by Larry Daley, Bookling Media is making it happen! Here is how: We allow the author-illustrator to retain all their intellectual property rights to their creation!

Just finished reading Prof. Nathan Holder’s book, ‘If I were a racist’ - Exploring racism in music teaching’. What a great tool for self and systematic reflection. This book encourages critical thinking and invites the reader to step back from ideology and ‘the way things have always been done’ in music education, to contemplate how some of those things at best could be non-inclusive and at worst could be causing harm. I love how the book isn’t designed to give all the answers but to pose questions that provoke the reader to rethink & challenge the status quo and perhaps begin or continue further a journey towards social justice, anti-racism and decolonisation. In short towards a truly inclusive music education where Black children can feel safe and like they belong and therefore thrive. I’m here for that. Big 👍🏽
