Free to all members, the Knowledge Toolkit helps songwriters and composers better understand the business of music, protect their rights and navigate new opportunities with confidence. Songwriters and composers aged 18 or over, anywhere in the world, can join as a Discovery member for free and gain immediate access.
New to the Toolkit are two chapters exploring AI and Working Life & Community, alongside updated guidance across every existing topic.
Developed from conversations at The Ivors Academy Summit, alongside additional research, the Knowledge Toolkit has been created with industry experts who work with songwriters and composers every day. It brings together practical advice on topics including copyright, royalties, publishing, metadata, contracts and professional development, helping music creators build sustainable careers.
Roberto Neri, CEO of The Ivors Academy, said, "Songwriters and composers make better creative and business decisions when they are empowered with trusted, practical information. We've updated the Knowledge Toolkit to give our members even more expert guidance to help them protect their rights, develop their careers and seize new opportunities. Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience, the Toolkit is here to help you make informed decisions with confidence."
