Music: Commercial/Management/Administration (MUM)

This course has been successfully taught as a special topics course for three semesters; part of the rationale is the demand for the course. Additionally, the Bower School of Music is developing a new music entrepreneurship minor and a music entrepreneurship concentration in the BA - Music degree; both of these soon-to-be-proposed curricular offerings would include this course as a required course.

An introduction to the fundamental legal concepts and practices within the music business, providing performing musicians with essential knowledge of contracts, copyright, licensing, and intellectual property rights.
