alone, employment has doubled; the average season for players in major symphony orchestras has been lengthened from 18-22 weeks to 36-48 weeks. In more 'popular' fields of music, the level of employment has partly reflected the growth in the disposable income of many Canadians. Overall income in all fields of music in Canada in 1974 is estimated to be in excess of $60 million; of this amount, the $24.2 million earned in Toronto

According to information provided by AFM, it is estimated that some 2000 musicians in Canada earn from $20,000 to $50,000 a year, while about 100 exceed $50,000. The latter, of course, are the very active ‘big names' in television and radio. Their fees must account for something like $5 million out of the total CBC budget of $7.5 million, a factor that obviously has a limiting effect on the average income of others.

Protection of these rights is afforded by two associations in Canada, CAPAC(21) and BMI Canada Limited. All the negotiated agreements have provisions covering residual rights, including payments related to repeat showings or use for other than the purpose of the original performance.
