The introductory course at the Dugdale covers music industry roles, marketing, branding and music business law

Dugdale Arts Centre is on the lookout for future musicians, technicians and promoters to join an “exclusive music masterclass series”.

‘The Business of Music’ is a free programme open to young people aged from 16 to 30 with an aim to teach the ins-and-outs of the music industry.

Enfield Council, in partnership with social enterprise Hype & Genius, will offer “unparalleled access” to professionals and experience to those wanting to understand how the music business operates, what roles are available and how to manage pitfalls and challenges.

The introductory course, held in-person, covers music industry roles, marketing, branding and music business law. The first workshop will commence on Wednesday, 16th October.

The intermediate sessions will take place online and will focus on advanced label and distribution insight, live tours, music tech, market analytics and music synchronisation. The first workshop will start on Monday, 28th October.

The Business of Music is being funded by the government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

Chinelo Anyanwu, cabinet member for environment, culture and public spaces, said: “We are excited to champion an initiative like The Business of Music, which allows individuals in Enfield to explore and learn what they are most passionate about – music! The key learnings offered in these masterclasses will help open many doors and shine a light on new talent.”
