London-based Music Business School (MBS) has received substantial funding from Help Musicians UK (HMUK) to facilitate further growth and development.
This includes the school's move to become a Community Interest Company (CIC) and run regular Managing a Music Business Enterprise (MMBE) diploma courses on a self-sustaining basis.
The funding marks a new step for HMUK and compliments their existing funding streams for artists' career development.
Alongside sharing their extensive network to provide guest speakers and other contacts, HMUK will receive 10 fully funded places spread over the five upcoming MMBE courses during the next two years.
Three of these rotations have been scheduled for 2017, with a further two courses to follow in 2018.
The 13-week course aims to provide essential industry knowledge and a recognised qualification in a format which, unlike other full and part time education, can fit around people’s careers. An additional three-day Electronic Dance Music specialist course will take place in summer 2017.
Steve Melhuish, MBS director, said: ‘With the help of HMUK, 2017 is going to be an important year which will establish MBS as a CIC and see us developing our core programme.
‘We are indebted to our team of experts that advised us along the way. Particular thanks goes to Remi Harris, who teamed us up with HMUK.’
Operating from emerging creative hub Tileyard Studios, the courses will help drive professional growth, utilising impressively high calibre speakers and a cohesive overview of the industry, covering record labels, sync rights, streaming updates, tour management, and much more. As a CIC, a form of social enterprise, any profits will be reinvested in the business, enabling further expansion and evolution of the programme.
