The program is geared towards students who want to work professionally in the music business, musicians who want to learn how to handle their own affairs and students who wish to open their own label without having to spend hundred of thousands of dollars.

Both locations will run simultaneously.

Classes begin August 31^st (Monday nights) from 7-9PM Space is limited

Students must commit to full year. Discounts available if year is paid in full

As a student of the program you will become part of the staff at an active indie label and be involved in and learn what it takes to become an A&R executive or a scout. Experience signing artists though the choosing of songs in pre-production, to production coordinating for the studio. See and be a part of real decision making at the label and how it influences the product. Follow the product through graphic design, marketing and production. Work on marketing and promotion of product through online outlets, print, and radio promotions. Work with development of street teams, work one on one with signed artists on their cd release parties, bookings and touring. You will work side by side with music industry professionals and signed artists. You will also be heavily involved in the behind the scenes aspects of the Unicity Performing Arts Festival and have the opportunity to be onsite for the festival.
