Music Business/Industry/Management/Technology/Production

In response to a pm, I created this list of links, and will post them here to avoid a duplication of effort down the road. I'm not an "expert" in these fields. I'm just the librarian. As with the bulk of info here, it is a starting point. Selection criteria basically was the amount of responses to a particular thread.

For those interested in these types of programs, the place to start is here http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/...2-post543.html

"music industry" 23 titled threads

This question seems to pop up a lot -- should this become another "sticky"?

You probably will not find a tremendous amount on the board on a school to school comparison. A search on CC as a whole using "middle tennessee state" searching entire post and displayed as posts as the criteria revealed these:

Belmont Univ (Nashville) -- any experience?
Music Technology / Sound Recording

Also some isolated, non-specific mentions came up as well. You can try the same search for Belmont.

The "best" of these programs are the ones that have strong ties to the industry, allowing for ample exposure, networking and internship opportunities. Belmont has a strong reputation for this. Given the proximity of MTS to Nashville, I would imagine the opportunities may be similar, but not necessarily equal. You may want to contact the department heads at each. Most schools will provide a list of current students or alums that will share their experiences.

stradmom, anyone can pm a moderator and request a specific thread be pinned. My understanding is that there is a limited number of these within each forum, or so I was once told when I asked.

I had previously inserted a link to this thread in the pinned Suggestions of Colleges with Music Majors and Useful Music Links threads.

Fixing bad link

For some reason, the first link in the first post no longer works. I'm pretty sure that the reference was to this thread Music Industry Program! Major and Minor Help!
