Access to Music's Atom Events, Atom Management and Atom Music 'companies' are dedicated to generating and promoting music opportunities for students on Access to Music courses.

 

Access To Music is looking to collect music from its students to channel into a set of exciting new projects. These will cover a wide range of opportunities that will enable ATM to promote students music positively. These may include:

• A label.
• Representation to the industry.
• Performances.
• An annual compilation CD.
• Music on the ATM website.
• Music on ATM’s Myspace.
  

If you are interested in submitting your original music please send it, together with details of performers, writers, where it was recorded and your centre and year of study (e.g. Manchester 2005). Please include details of any websites or myspace, and don’t forget to include your contact details!

If you are a student on an ATM course, then Access to Music can promote you and your music on our websites. We can run news stories and articles and we can play MP3s of your music, either on our Myspace site, or on this site.

Please email us stories, photos and MP3s. Please note that Access to Music Ltd. operates an editorial policy and so we cannot guarantee that your stories, photos or music will be used.

 

Want to be featured in, or write an article for, one of the UK’s top student music magazines?

In-Sync, (the official Access to Music magazine) comes out twice a year and is packed with news, articles, features and profiles focusing on ATM students and tutors, both past and present.

The magazine is posted to over 10,000 people, all with a keen interest in music, and is also distributed to the public at major music events in the UK including Music Live at the NEC and Sounds Expo at Olympia in London.

We are offering Access to Music students the chance to tell us about your music news, or if you are a budding music journalist, to submit an article for publication.

Are you in a band and want some extra promotion? Could you offer other students tips on how to take their first steps to success? Have you got a track you want reviewed by the In-Sync team? Perhaps you want to review an ATM gig?

Whatever your idea or your story, get in touch with In-Sync and see how the team can help you promote you and your music. Deadline for copy for the Spring 08 edition is 9 March and the deadline for the Autumn 08 edition is 12 September.

Please note that Access to Music Ltd. operates an editorial policy and so we cannot guarantee that your stories, photos or music will be used.
