Description:

Yamaha is sponsoring the first UTSA Music Business Education Launchpad - A Summer Institute for Music Educators July 6-8, 2021. Presented virtually, you will gain insight into how to start a High School Music Business program. The institute will feature an impressive list of utmost expert educators in the field of Music Business and Entrepreneurship from across the nation.

Why should I attend?

1. Music business program can not only become an enhancement to your music program, but also serve as an attractive option to students and thus bring into the fold the very group of students who otherwise would never have been part of the more traditional music coursework.

2. A music business program can grow your overall enrollment numbers and student engagement. 

3. Music business education is adaptable to any demographic profile and molds to meet existing needs in a school, program, or district. 

4. Music business education is cross-curricular and also addresses the skillsets taught in the STEM pathway.
    
5. Finally, remote learning is probably here to stay — at least in part. Music business education works on a digital platform just as easily as in person. Unlike a traditional music class where directors have scrambled to create a way to teach and assess a performance-based class virtually, music business is interactive and frees the teacher to design lessons that can be assimilated through a variety of mediums.
