Many students come to us because they have a passion for music. Our job is to help expand that into a passion for the business of music, which is a very different thing: marketing, publishing, legal considerations, audience building, entrepreneurship, presentation skills, digital technology, and much more. In addition, your musicianship and performance abilities will grow through exposure to music theory, ensembles, and music history of all styles. For information about program specifics, please see the webpage called Curriculum.

In classes, we explore and argue about the changes in today's industry, and help you create new business ideas of your own. We communicate and conference with industry leaders and innovators from all over the world. You'll have a chance to create independent business projects, on your own or in student teams. You will build networks with other students and industry people that will enrich and reward you for a lifetime.
So, stick around!
