The student majoring in Music Business/Management will learn the skills, concepts, and methodologies necessary to manage the legal, financial, artistic, and ethical issues that face the contemporary music business professional. The student may choose one of three available tracks within the major: self-directed or entrepreneurial activity, marketing, or management in corporate environments. The st

udent will demonstrate mastery of necessary skills and concepts by completing a final project- a capstone experience with portfolio documentation depending upon the major track chosen. This experience will be an industry internship, leadership participation in an ongoing college model music industry project, or both. The student will develop a critical understanding of criteria of quality work in music business and management environments by means of course work in business leadership and ethics, by the extensive use of case studies in all courses and by exposure to guest lecturers. Work on the capstone project will focus on applying these criteria to simulated and actual work environments. The student will be able to work effectively with others in groupings typically found in the music business by means of participation in group projects, critiques of case studies, and divided class activities. Through topical analysis assignments, the student will develop sufficient resources to enable him/her to cope with and adjust to career-long changes in music business and management environments.

We stand with the AAPI community, please check the link here for more information and resources (https://linktr.ee/berkleembm).

In the words of Roger Brown “I am deeply saddened to hear of yet another mass shooting, this time targeted against people of Asian descent, in my home state of Georgia. The disturbing rise in discrimination and violence against Asian Americans tied to the COVID-19 pandemic has become its own sickness. I stand with and support the AAPI community against these incidents. In the words of the Georgian who has inspired me most, Martin Luther King, Jr., ‘Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.’ This tragedy hurts and diminishes us all.”
