\n

The national executive council of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) has approved new fees for members of the union to take effect \u00a0from January 15.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

At the last meeting held by the council, the second highest decision- making body of the union after congress, it was agreed that new rates should be introduced for MUSIGA\u2019s members.<\/p>\n

According to the president of MUSIGA, Bice Osei Kuffour, since MUSIGA is a member-based organisation that caters for the welfare of its members, it needed to charge realistic fees to enable it to provide meaningful services to members.<\/p>\n

He added that three new categories of membership have also been introduced by the union in addition to the already existing Standard Membership category.<\/p>\n

One of the new categories is Associate Member for students \u00a0 interested in joining the union.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are students of institutions like School of Performing Arts, National Film and Television Institute (NAFTI), University of Education at Winneba and similar tertiary institutions offering music courses,\u201d the MUSIGA president said.<\/p>\n

Next is the Professional category \u00a0which is similar to the Fellows category of other professional bodies. This category will cater for a certain level of professional musician and comes with a set of benefits.<\/p>\n

The final new category is the MUSIGA Partner for individuals or organisations who do not work directly in the music industry but are interested in associating with the Union.<\/p>\n

The new categories will be officially unveiled at the annual retreat for the union\u2019s leadership in Koforidua on Thursday, January 15.<\/p>\n

With the introduction of the new rates, Standard membership will attract a new registration fee of GH\u00a2 54 and yearly dues of GH\u00a2 120. The Professional category has GH\u00a2100 for new registration and \u00a0annual dues of GH\u00a2480.<\/p>\n

The new registration rate for Partner category is GH\u00a240 \u00a0with yearly dues of GH\u00a2 720. For Student membership, new registration attracts GH\u00a2 30 and there\u2019s an annual fee of GH\u00a2 60.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
