Hi! Opening a studio soon, and have a few questions as far as getting everything ready.

1) As far as BMI, ASCAP, etc. could anyone give me a ballpark figure on what music licensing costs per year?

2) I've been looking around for a syllabus for my younger tap kids, I know about Al Gilbert and I was raised on him myself. But I guess what I'm REALLY interested in is the ATOD syllabi; mainly because not only can I get the tap stuff I need (I really like their style from what I've seen) I could get the jazz and hip hop too. Does anyone know a way for someone Stateside to get ahold of these, or to take the examinations even? Or if not those in particular, anything comparable that I could procure in the US?

Thanks so much!
Jen
