Music industry vetteran, Preshias Harris, is pleased to introduce the release of her new book titled “The College of Songology℠101.” * Harris, who is known as a “Country Music Ambassador” and Music Row “Who’s Who” created the educational handbook with the aspiring singer/songwriter in mind. Subtitled “The Singer/Songwriter’s Need-to-Know Reference Handbook,” “The College of Songology℠101” outlines music industry and songwriting essentials, standards, “do’s-and-don’ts,” as well as business protocol (including copyright laws, establishing independent publishing and more) in easy-to-understand layman’s language.

“My mission in life is to help aspiring singers and songwriters to be the best that they can be. ’The College of Songology 101’ covers ‘the basics’ to enable the inspiring songwriter to launch his or her career successfully,” said Harris. “My experience and tenure in the music business has enabled me the knowledge and know-how to protect songwriter hopefuls from making financial mistakes and to help them earn money from their craft as they follow their dream to become an independent songwriter. The handbook outlines necessary tools to enable the music writer to elevate his or her dream from a hobby to a successful career.”

Harris continues to pursue her own dream and she thrives. The twenty-seven year music industry vet began her endeavor as an intern working at various Nashville record labels; she has invaluable experience and expertise in every aspect of the country music and songwriting business. The music career development consultant currently caters to new and aspiring artists and songwriters; she wrote “The College of Songology℠101” based on her many years in working with singers and songwriters of every age. She addresses every aspect of the songwriting business as an aid to assist songwriters in turning “writes” into royalties.

Feature chapters include: “Performing Rights Organizations;” “Song Publishing” (and the pros and cons of self-publishing vs. signing with a song publisher); “Recording Demos”, "How and When to Copyright Songs", "Licensing: Where the Money Is" and an “A-to-Z” reference that highlights hundreds of music industry terms and definitions.

“We included ‘workbook’ segments at the end of each chapter to allow the songwriter to keep tabs and make notes on everything he or she has accomplished or applied to their personal and respective songwriter business plan,” Harris added. “It’s makes for a good checklist and future reference.”

“The College of Songology 101”has already become a sought-after educational reference guide by various colleges and music education institutions; it is AVAILABLE NOW in print (8” x 10” handbook) and via Kindle. Both versions can be ordered direct from the author at **For a limited time, purchasers of the print version can download the e-book ABSOLUTELY FREE!**

Harris is scheduled to appear at her very first book signing on Monday, June 26, 2017 at Two Old Hippies (401 12th Ave S, Nashville, TN 37203). The book signing begins at 5:00PM; she has invited songwriters from her “corral” to perform. Stay tuned for book signing event updates.
