ESE Short Course in Music Management

The ESE Short Course in Music Management was designed as a means of providing students with a real working structure to guide them in this innately formless and rapidly evolving field. The Music Management course has been developed to meet the needs of students who wish to pursue a business and management career in the music and media industries.

A series of lectures, seminars and workshops with both regular and visiting industry specialists introduces candidates to the most significant aspects of the music business, including contract law, intellectual copyright, artist management and the recording industry.

Success in the contemporary world of music is increasingly dependent upon business know-how. Students may have the opportunity of gaining hands-on experience at the Foundation’s own Amiata Records (www.amiatamedia.com).

Assessment for the programme is through a group project and presentation, an individual essay and a final exam. Participants are expected to undertake at least two hours per week of independent study. Upon successful completion of the course, students are awarded an ESE certificate. Modules may also be taken independently.
