Education and outreach have long been essential to ASCAP's mission. Those twin goals took center stage recently when ASCAP visited the University of Miami, famed for its music programs. Nearly a hundred students from the University of Miami's Music Business School, New Media & Writing and Composition programs attended guest lectures by ASCAP composer and Board member Richard Bellis on two topics: "The State of the Film Music Industry: Film Music is NOT an App" and "Creating the Cue: The Mechanics Behind Scoring." The presentations were held at the University's Clarke Recital Hall as the featured Friday Forum Lecture.
