Students will develop the skills required for music graduates to be able to form careers in music-focused arts organisations or individual enterprises. They will be introduced to a wide range of examples of how careers involving music can be created and sustained, and how they can position themselves to gain employment.
Matters such as governance, funding, copyright law, and programming issues are investigated so that students gain an understanding of arts administration in music, the range of roles available within music-focused arts organisations, and of the issues unique to the music industry. Some key readings in the area will be studied.
