The first module in the Billboard and NYU Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music partnership educational program, Music Industry Essentials, has been confirmed to open later this month.
Titled ‘The Origins of Music Business,’ the course serves as the first of six modules for the program created in association with Yellowbrick, which helps facilitate learning experiences alongside top universities and brands.
‘The Origins of Music Business’ aims to help participants identify the historical beginnings of a specific musical style and become familiar with the genres it influences. Topics covered within the module include the growth of American music, the role of executives in the industry, the evolution of record production and the digital revolution.
