6 TERMS AND CONDITIONS PAYMENT Payments are made on the 1st of each month, for that month; this is mandatory. There have been many studies which show that music development increases, motor skills, cognitive function, memory retention, and builds confidence and self esteem! I say with all confidence: the results are well worth a commitment! RIGHTS (ROYALTIES) As part of musical development, artists are encouraged to participate in songwriting. In Canada, the copy right laws suggests that, as soon as an author creates a body of work, said author owns the rights to that body of work. It is important that each artist, who has created a body of work become a SOCAN member. SOCAN is a Canadian music rights organization, created for the soul propose of collecting and distributing music royalties to artists. A SOCAN account is free to create. Request a consultation for more information. Any finished work, presented by an artist, for development, will remain the property of that artist. If the authorship was created by both the artist and the EMS engineer, the profits derived from the work will be split 50/50 MUSIC (COMPOSITION) Elevation Music Studio will always remain the owner of the music and arrangement of the work. Any profit made by the body of work will be split 50/50, as laid out in the initial agreement. 5 elevationmusicstudio.com live@elevationmusicstudio.com

8 A NOTE FROM OUR LEADER "The heart behind Elevation Music Studio (EMS) is simply to bring together a few passionate individuals, creating a subsequent culture where music, and the art of music, is our common thread. I have always dreamed of being a part of a movement where the artist is submissive to the art; being completely attuned, comprehensive and equally overwhelmed by it - and in the interim, displaying honesty, humility and integrity. Time and time again, I have seen this nurturing process change individual perspective, and social dichotomy. There is nothing text-book, as it pertains to creating art; we are free to expound upon an emotion by which we are afflicted, and allow it's manifestation to be free; not to fit into the mold of what already exists - and do so absent thought and free from contempt. It is so liberating to freely express the emotion of the heart through exercising one's imagination and creativity, in a safe space, where there is an allowance for vulnerability, and absent judgment. This is the heart & mandate of EMS. I would love to chat with you about your art, passion and creative vision sometime soon! elevationmusicstudio.com live@elevationmusicstudio.com
