Masterclass: How To Maximize Your Music Income with PRS/ PPL?
Amplify Her is a supportive community dedicated to empowering women in the music industry. Through live events, workshops, songwriting camps, and masterclasses, we create spaces where artists, songwriters, and industry professionals can connect, learn, and grow together.
Our **masterclasses and educational sessions are exclusively available to Amplify Her members**, giving our community direct access to industry experts, valuable knowledge, and professional development opportunities.
If youād like to take part in sessions like this one and become part of our growing network, you can join the **[Amplify Her membership](https://www.amplifyher.co.uk/membership "https://www.amplifyher.co.uk/membership")** and gain access to our masterclasses, community events, and resources designed to support your journey in music.
**About PRS for Music**
PRS for Music is a UK organisation that represents songwriters, composers, and music publishers. Its primary role is to **collect and distribute royalties** when music is performed in public.
This includes music played on the **radio, TV, streaming services, live concerts, venues, shops, and online platforms**. PRS ensures that the people who write and compose the music are **fairly paid whenever their work is used**.
By licensing music to businesses and organisations, PRS collects these fees and **pays the royalties directly to its members**, helping creators earn income from their songs.
**During the session**, PRS experts will guide us through three essential topics, each explored in depth with time for questions and discussion:
š¤ **Live Revenue**
Learn how songwriters and performers earn money when their music is played live. This section will explain how live performances generate royalties, how setlists are reported, and how to make sure youāre receiving the income youāre entitled to.
š² **Money from Streaming**
Streaming has transformed the music industry, but understanding how revenue flows can be confusing. This segment will explore how royalties from streaming platforms work, how payments are calculated, and what artists can do to maximise their earnings.
š§ **An Introduction to PPL**
This introduction to **PPL** will explain the role of neighbouring rights and how performers and recording rightsholders get paid when their recordings are broadcast or played in public.

**More on Our Philosophy:**
Our mission is bigger than just helping people become better at public speaking, our mission is to help create a more transparent and connected society. Our society celebrates extrinsic success; confidence is presented to be smooth, slick, suave and charismatic. Because of this we neglect parts of our personality, our feelings, our idiosyncrasies, our uniqueness, our quirkiness and ultimately our vulnerability in pursuit of becoming confident, according to what society deems as confidence. However, we risk becoming āwell-rehearsed robotsā and not sincere individuals, who arenāt afraid of expressing their humanness. Our approach offers a very non-conventional way of become an empowering and inspiring communicator.

Let's Discuss... Platoās Cave of Mirrors
Every day you look at the news on your phone and you are shown a perspective on multiple events, vivid pictures, videos, and explanations that decide for you what to think. When you come out of your bubble and try to talk to others, you realise they have the wrong perspective. You assumed they saw the same undeniable evidence you did, with the same explanations. But each person is shown a perspective tailored to them, believable and convincing from where they stand.
We moved from relying on our own eyes, to gossip, to the printing press, to radio and TV, and now to news customised to each individual.
We moved from Plato's Cave, where we were all chained side by side experiencing the same shadows, to isolation, each of us with our own unique shadows.
In Plato's Cave they were wrong together. Are we more lost being wrong alone?
Is your bubble protecting you or trapping you?
Can we build a shared world if we can't share a shared reality?
Learn more about [the allegory of the cave](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_cave).

**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.

The key to improving your personal motivation, self-confidence, and happiness is to get over your painful memories.
When you become free of your past, you will be free from stress, anger, anxiety and depression. Studies show that negative emotions can affect your health. By being free of negative emotions, believe it or not, you will most likely even look younger, feel more energetic, and become healthier!
