What is the Steem Music Alliance? (SMA)
The Steem Music Alliance (SMA) is a community-based network platform that connects musical creatives, as well as, music lovers. We offer the opportunity for people to engage, collaborate, and grow.

We are a dynamic, collaborative group of over 450 members with the goal to help each other in the pursuit of reaching our potential and dreams.

Our curators scoured the #music, #sma , and other music-related tags to find some incredible music-related content to showcase and highlight to the community.

All of these posts below were voted on by the @smacommunity trail which is comprised of souls who care about music and music-related content here on Steemit.

Help music-related Steemit posts get the recognition and rewards feedback they deserve by joining the @smacommunity curation trail here: https://steemauto.com/dash.php?trail=smacommunity&i=1

@psionic-tremors - **🎼🎧Dreams🎧🎼(Steemit Music League Challenge S2:R13)**

Wow, this is such a great collaboration here! Personally I love when dance/house (etc) music meets classical music, in my opinion those two often make a great track when they are melted to one piece. And @psionic-tremors you did a great job here melting them together. Of course credits to @zameena-zen for the violin part of the track, it sounds really cool! The post already got hit by @curie but still I found you two deserve a spot here in Music Today. @zameena-zen please send me your bts account name too, so I can reward you with 10 whaleshares too.

@darrenclaxton - **Chapters Just Begun - Brand new Song by Darren Claxton**

Another original song by @darrenclaxton that really has a nice relaxed flow to it. Written in his precious spare time, being busy and often short of time (so recognizable to many of us I guess) I love the song. I think you're very talented not only in writing your own songs, but you have such a warm voice too. Thank you for sharing another great original song with us.

@karinxxl - **Music rights in the Netherlands, are they also applicable to you?**

This is not a music post, but it got me thinking while reading it. I wonder how these rules about music rights are applicable for artists on Steemit. And I also ask myself if every musician realizes what it means to put some of the music online for others. I am not an artist, but I found out a few years ago that a computer company also has to pay rights when it plays music in the office while having employees there. Never had I realized this myself, until my boyfriend mentioned it. And I had my own business back then too (no employees) but these are things that maybe more people don't know anything about. Because it's good to spread some knowledge I decided to highlight @karinxxl's post today, and please don't forget to leave a comment below her post about your situation, so we can gather information to help others that are questioning the rules that apply to them.
