How much do the screeners get paid.

and do they slip in the back door to Taxi so as not to suffer disdain and ridicule from their currently more successful colleagues?!

I don't think anyone on the Taxi forum would have any idea how much Taxi pays their consultants. And why would you presume that highly respected folks like John Braheny or Pat Pattison or Pete & Pat Luboff or Steve Memel would need to slip in the back door?

you could google them yourself, but here you go...Pat Pattison - is a professor of lyric writing at Berklee. I've got 2 or 3 of his books. I took his class at the Road Rally - http://members.aol.com/ptpattison/lyric ... o.htmlPete & Pat Luboff - professional songwriters & teachers with many credits - http://www.writesongs.com/luboffPP.htmSteve Memel - well-respected vocal coach - http://www.stevenmemel.com/bio.htmlJohn Braheny teaches songwriting, is the author of "The Craft & the Business of Songwriting" - http://www.johnbraheny.com/john/index.htmlObviously Taxi would only ask them to screen listings within their area of expertise. And obviously I don't know when they might be reviewing music or what listings they might review. H

I'd like to know who the screeners are for the Dance/Electronic listings. I'm really curious.

Michael Laskow mentioned in a post that he pays approx. 1 mio us $ for the screener per year, in total. Personally I don't think that taxi ows us details about their salaries - No company tell you what their employees earn, execpt for the higher manager & CEO (...but as far as I know taxi is not in the stock market..;)
production, composition & stringed instruments
