Let the YouTube educational seminars begin!
Yesterday (Jan. 22) the Country Music Association (CMA) helped YouTube hold the first in a series of free YouTube Music Nashville workshops, announced late last year.
Held at Houston Station in Nashville, CMA members learned fundamentals of music on YouTube, and provided hands-on time with equipment.
CMA artist members Erin Enderlin and Kenny Foster participated in demonstrative performances and interviews that will later appear on their respective YouTube channels.
The first workshop happens as the Google-owned service has reportedly began blocking artist videos not participating in Music Key, YouTube’s new subscription streaming service.
