In this subject, students explore the business models and professional practices relevant to the music and sound sector. Learning is structured around a central applied music business project focusing on the running of a digital media label. Students elect to participate in one or more organising committees fulfilling professional roles such as label management, event management, distribution, marketing and design, production and administration. Authentic learning and assessment strategies are built around project proposal and opportunity analysis, contract drafting and negotiation, project report and acquittal.
