The Music Business Program at Nimbus School of Recordings Arts delivers practical knowledge that is directly applicable to your career.
Music Business comprises the first half of the one year Music Business Administration Diploma Program, acting as a prerequisite for the Artist Development Program (coming soon).
Students may opt to take only the Music Business component for 6 months and receive a Certificate of Completion. Intakes are in January and July.
What You Will Learn
Each student utilizes the skills learned in the Program to advance their own individual projects, creating their own business and marketing plans. Students don't leave Nimbus simply knowing how to do it - they have done it.
Music Business students set aggressive goals to release their band's album, start their own label, recording studio, management company, social media and promoter business, and achieve these goals before they leave the Program. Spend each class building YOUR business.
You will build a solid foundation in accounting, business communications, marketing, digital distribution, law, touring, radio and more.
Nimbus Business students have access to guest speakers from pivotal organizations such as SOCAN, Live Nation, FACTOR, as well as major labels, agents, commercial radio and top producers and artists.
While Nimbus Production and Engineering students work with artists recording in Nimbus studios, the Music Business students work hands-on with these artists to create cohesive marketing strategies.
What Other Classes Have Done
Nimbus Music Business students participated in the following:
- Working in studio with Bob Ezrin, assisting in the production of the Young Artists for Haiti charity single "Wavin' Flag"
