I’m a huge fan of Berkleemusic, the online extension school at Berklee College of Music. This week they launched the first online professional music business certificate program.
Students will learn about setting up a music publishing company and record label, creating a business plan, administration of copyrights, marketing, promotion, distribution, product merchandising, touring, recording and publishing legal agreements, as well as peer-to-peer, MP3 and digital rights management issues.
