Thinking About Launching A Music Startup? Enroll In UCLA Music Innovation Summer Institute

What can I do with music and my career in a changing world?
Something different. Something new.

Join us this summer at our Music Innovation Summer Institute at UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music

• Earn 8 units of UCLA credit while meeting innovators in music and technology.
• Learn to apply your own skills with the changing world of music, Internet, production, and technology.
• Look forward, not just back, in understanding how technology is changing how we create, collaborate, distribute, produce, enjoy live performance, and build new businesses.

Experiment. Make new contacts and build new communities. Find other like-minded students to launch new businesses and project with. We will explore digital disruption of existing models, what already is happening with/to music, and what may be happening over the next 3-10 years.
