Any student interested in building a career in music and media will benefit from engaging with the materials presented in this Music Industry Curriculum. We outline a few types of classes where these materials are most relevant, but the concepts covered in this curriculum pertain to all careers and will inform new professions as they emerge in a quickly evolving industry.
We recommend that teachers implement these materials with high-schoolers. Such technical, dry concepts like contracts and copyright are difficult for middle-schoolers and below. High school is also where students begin to think about their careers.
