Music Business [Nova Scotia Community College, NSCC]

The audience is always focused on the performer on the stage, but it takes a team of skilled professionals and months of planning, negotiating, and marketing to create a successful music event. If you're a practising musician, or somebody who thrives behind the scenes, this program provides an understanding of the inner workings of the music industry. Managers, agents, and publishers are vital for any musician or artist competing in the entertainment business, and the skills required to be successful, such as accounting, grant and proposal writing, contracts, and marketing are all covered in this program.
