About Protege

Therefore, every track that you write has the potential to be pitched to our global network of industry contacts. Each successful placement earns you sync fees & royalties. These placements create confidence, momentum, new relationships and increased opportunities. And this is how successful careers are built.
The school is led by multi Award Winning tutors who are experts in their field. Protege founders Richard Schrieber & Vikram Gudi have together amassed hundreds of placements and generated well over £1 million in revenue from music.


Our Founders
Protege is the brainchild of multi-award-winning composer, podcaster and thought leader Richard Schrieber, and industry entrepreneur, renowned producer and one of the world’s leading sync specialists Vikram Gudi. Or as they prefer to be known, Rich and Vik.
They created Protege because they noticed a troubling lack of opportunity for young composers striving to work in the ever-growing industry of film and TV music. It wasn’t that they believed young composers didn’t possess the skills or the imagination to do great work, but more so that they weren’t being properly educated and equipped to both understand, navigate and ultimately thrive in such a fast-paced and constantly-evolving industry.
Great music is only one facet of this business. Beyond that lies the obstacle of knowing how to create the “right” music, how to get that work into the hands of the right people, or order to get it placed with the right projects….so you can get paid.
