MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING SEMINARS
Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin
Health and wellbeing are fundamental to music-making at all levels, but also across all areas of the industry – management, production, crew. And many in the music industry in New Zealand do not feel equipped or trained when it comes to wellbeing issues.
The key aims of the session is to improve the mental health and wellbeing literacy of music managers and self managed artists, to empower our community to better monitor themselves and to reach out and give practical support to those around them, and to impart a greater understanding of the framework of assistance and support that exists for people experiencing mental health and wellbeing issues.
Experienced MusicHelps counsellor and registered psychologist Grant Gunning will run the seminars and the key topics will be:
Identifying support networks for artists and managers – key relationships, support people and value/qualities each represents or provides
Understand group dynamics – normalising the ups and downs of bands/creative projects and the life-cycle of groups
Recognising indicators of concern – recognising when mental/emotional life or wellbeing is suffering in managers and artists and how to articulate this
Protective factors: what are the risks and how can protective measures be put in place
Mental health and wellbeing support in the NZ health system: what happens if you or your client engages with the NZ health system
Locating resources and avenues of assistance– where to go, who to call, avenues of support and intervention.

NEW MUSIC INDUSTRY SEMINARS ANNOUNCED FOR WAIKATO AND BAY OF PLENTY
Following the outstanding success of the ‘Make Money From Your Music’ seminars the NZ Music Managers Forum, with thanks to NZ On Air and the Creative Communities Scheme in Hamilton and Tauranga, are returning to Waikato and Bay of Plenty with the essential Stage Two seminar ‘Marketing and Promoting Your Music’.
Following the outstanding success of the ‘Make Money From Your Music’ seminars the NZ Music Managers Forum, with thanks to NZ On Air and the Creative Communities Scheme in Hamilton and Tauranga, are returning to Waikato and Bay of Plenty with the essential Stage Two seminar ‘Marketing and Promoting Your Music’.
How musicians release and promote contemporary music has changed considerably in the last couple of years with an increased focus on digital. Over 70% of the New Zealand Music Industry income is from streaming, but this means that an artist is competing to have their music consumed in one big worldwide digital store. In order to cut through they need to be active across many promotional channels. With record labels signing fewer artists direct, it is important that managers and musicians learn these skills for their independent releases.
This not to be missed seminar will cover all avenues of releasing, marketing and promoting music including the various ways to release a song, EP or album, distribution – digital and physical, P.R., bio’s, press releases, tips for pitching to media, marketing, digital marketing, social media, playlists and radio airplay.
Speakers are:
Ladi 6 Independent Artist
Nicky Harrop General Manager - Rhythmethod
(Independent Distribution Label)
Lisa Paris CEO - The Label
(Music Marketing and PR Specialists)
Jeff Newton NZ On Air
Jenny Rudd Owner and Editor UNO Magazine
Teresa Patterson Chairperson NZ Music Managers Forum
Artist Manager
Dates and locations:
Tuesday September 11th Tauranga – Totara Street
Wednesday September 12th Hamilton – Meteor Theatre
5.30pm doors for 6.00pm start. Seminar finishes at 8.00pm
FREE ENTRY to all - musicians, self managed artists, music managers or anyone interested in the music industry but RSVP is essential.
Email Lorraine.owen@mmf.co.nz to secure your seat. Please make sure you specify which seminar you will be attending – Waikato or BOP.
Thanks to NZ On Air, the Creative Communities Scheme in Hamilton and Tauranga and the NZ Music Managers Forum.
