(MARCH 2003) On January 11, the chapter sponsored a discussion on composing for television at the offices of Local 802 of the American Federation of Musicians. The workshop was led by Richard Honoroff, a composer with nearly 25 years of experience writing for TV. Honoroff – whose credits include music for NBC Sports, the 1988 and 1992 Summer Olympics, and music for the National Football League – shared frank advice and anecdotes from his years of writing for the major networks. He offered advice on getting in the door (sheer persistence), choosing a genre (sports shows, unlike sitcoms, are rarely cancelled), maximizing royalties (manage those cue sheets), and developing and maintaining relationships with producers (a little gift-giving never hurts). Following his talk, Honoroff fielded a flurry of questions from an enthusiastic audience.
