Course Description:

'' You’ll begin by exploring the key elements of the music and recording industry, including the role of labels, publishers, and distributors in Music Business 101. You’ll examine areas such as the administration of copyrights, performance rights organizations, and the role of the different players involved in both the creative and business aspects of your career. Then you’ll also explore The Future of Music and the Music Business, and evaluate how current and developing changes, technologies, innovations, and trends might directly affect your own plans. You’ll look at issues such as digital rights management and alternate forms of marketing, and discover successful strategies for creating, promoting, and distributing music in the emerging digital market.

From there, you will gain an understanding of the important recent legal changes that are of special concern to musicians, engineers, and producers in Legal Aspects of the Music Industry. Particular emphasis is placed on issues you’ll encounter when building your careers, including copyright law, recording and music publishing agreements, common contracts and agreements including producer, label and distribution agreements and club contracts, and digital rights management issues.

Next, you’ll go Inside the Record Industry by looking at the functions of a traditional record label—including the promotions, marketing, A&R, and publicity departments—and exploring how each department is structured, what they will and won’t do for an artist, and how all of them work together to promote a new release. Then you’ll take an in-depth look at the world of music publishing in Music Publishing 101. You’ll learn how to set up your own publishing company step-by-step, covering topics like the administration of copyrights, the role of performance rights organizations, and how to prepare a functioning accounting system for your catalog.

You’ll then expand your music production knowledge, skills, and experience when you become fully immersed in the techniques and curriculum developed by the Music Production & Engineering department at Berklee College of Music. Beginning in Desktop Music Production and continuing through out your electives, this part of the program gives you a complete understanding of the concepts and production techniques, from fundamental-to-advanced, that you’ll need to create, produce, and record professional-sounding arrangements using the software and sequencers in Pro Tools, Abelton Live, MIDI, and Reason.

During this program, you will cultivate a vast understanding of the music business, music production, artist development, and arranging concepts with specific training on the music software currently revolutionizing the world of music composition and performance. This 2-year program is a must for anyone passionate about music and serious about furthering his or her career in the music industry.
