Fitting to the industry
The Music Business course is designed for both aspiring music business people and music makers alike, in fact anyone who wants to make money from music.
The course is ideal for people who want to make the jump from amateur to professional, or for those looking to take existing professional activities to the next level and beyond.
Brilliant ideas and good decisions come from a solid platform of knowledge. There is no point in having a great idea and a plan without the skills to back it up; and if you don’t have a plan – well, you need to make one. Wouldn’t it be great if we could spend all of our time being creative, making music, and get paid loads of money for it?
Sadly, but for a privileged few, this is not very realistic. In order to make a living out of the music industry there are other things that aren’t as sexy but nevertheless they must be taken care of.

We would always recommend chatting to one of our friendly course advisors prior to enrolment. Book a call now.
