The American Music Center is happy to announce a new service for
our membership. For the first time, individual members will be able to
have their own personal suite of World Wide Web Pages at the
American Music Center site on the Internet. The Center'’s pages are
already receiving thousands of “hits” each day. This gives both
composer and performer members an ideal opportunity to make
themselves and their music known to the performers, presenters, and
publishers from all over the world who visit us electronically.

For a one-time fee of $200 (and your continuing membership), we will
program, link, and provide the storage space for a personal suite of
pages on the World Wide Web. The information we will publish for
you can include descriptions of your works (including lists of your CDs
and scores and where to obtain them), your education and background,
personal artistic statements, upcoming performances and reviews. If
you already have scores in the Center'’s collection, a listing of these
will be available from your page with information about how members
can check them out.
General Guidelines
We'’ll provide guidelines for formatting your page, with the idea of
keeping the information content high and consistent with our other
pages. We highly recommend that you examine the Individual Artists
Pages already established for help in creating your pages. These pages
will form a database of information about our performers and
composers for the whole world to access, at a site which has already
had great success. Individual Artist Pages will not be personal home
pages, but rather a professional opportunity to promote your music
through the thousands of contacts which the American Music Center
attracts daily to its WWW site.
If you'’ve already set up a personal home page and yo'u’re a member,
we will link you to our Individual Artists Pages without charge.
The $200 setup fee is for initial programming and configuration of your
suite of pages. Changes to your WWW pages, including updates and
requests for customized pages, will be billed at $50 an hour (with a $15
minimum).
