The School of Music Business (SMB) is opening in London offering a programme of short evening and weekend courses.
The new school, now open for enrolments, is donating 20 percent of all profits to support emerging artists and music business start-ups in the form of grants. Courses taught by prominent industry figures aim to equip musicians and music business hopefuls with skills and networking opportunities required to succeed.
The programme includes AIM Award winning Alcopop Records founder, Jack Clothier, leading a course on how to start and run a successful record label.
Federica Furlotti, a senior publicist at Outpost Media who has worked with a host of major artists including Bjork and Craig David, will run a music PR course.
Matt Errington, SMB founder and director, said: ‘We’re excited to open our school and start the process of putting artists back in control of their own careers.
‘Our incredible tutors will arm students with the tools necessary to take advantage of the industry, because all too often it’s been the industry that has taken advantage of them.’
Other courses include one led by Tim Ferrone, whose background with EMI, Universal and The Ministry of Sound has seen him lead international campaigns for the likes of London Grammar.
Courses begin in April with enrolments open now, and fees start at just £150 with discounts available to PRS for Music, PPL and Musicians Union members.
PRS for Music members are entitled to a 10 percent discount using code PRSDISCOUNT.
