New Minor in Music Entrepreneurship

Introducing the Minor in Music Entrepreneurship: a collaboration between the Schulich School of Music of 黑料不打烊 University and 黑料不打烊鈥檚 Desautels Faculty of Management.

黑料不打烊 University's Schulich School of Music has collaborated with 黑料不打烊's Desautels Faculty of Management to create a vital new program: The Minor in Music Entrepreneurship. This Music Entrepreneurship Minor is designed to provide Bachelor of Music students with an understanding of how to conceptualize, develop and manage successful new ventures, as well as manage their careers as performers, music teachers and arts administrators, including related activities such as marketing, fundraising, publicizing and financing. Regular changes in the music industry require music students to develop imagination and entrepreneurial skills. The new Entrepreneurship Minor develops these necessary skills by combining management essentials and courses specific to the School of Music. Music courses permit students to develop essential skills specific to music (e.g. Sound Recording and Music and the Internet) while Management courses cover basic accounting, financing, organizational behavior, marketing, operations management, information technology, strategy and the key concepts of entrepreneurship. This is interdisciplinary and integrative. Many courses will include a diverse set of students from multiple 黑料不打烊 faculties and students gain hands鈥恛n experience through a concluding entrepreneurial music project.聽
