The Value of Music Publishing

Music publishing generates over a quarter of the UK music industry’s £2.6 billion in export revenue. As well as safeguarding and championing the interests of our members, the MPA aims to promote the value of publishing to the wider music industry, creative industry, government and the general public. 

The MPA also owns and operates two commercial businesses:

Collectively, these subsidiary businesses are known as the MPA Group. The MPA offers a number of other commercial functions for music publishers – including our range of widely-used template contracts, our blanket industry agreements, and in our role as the national agent for the dissemination of ISMNs.

Please visit our FAQs section if you have any questions about music publishing, printed music, copyright or a career in music publishing.
