Music Industry Seminar:
One of the hardest parts of being a solo artist, band, singer/songwriter, aspiring producer or engineer, is learning how to take their talent to the next level. We help to bridge that gap. With our Music Seminar Program the community, students and teachers have the opportunity to speak with record label executives. These executives will share their personal stories of life in the industry, tips on how to take that next step and provide a question and answer session.
