Roundtable V – Thursday: «Entrepreneurship in higher music education»
CreaTeMe og institutt for rytmisk musikk UiA arrangerte Creative Synergies fra 24. til 28. februar 2025. Arrangementet samlet over 150 studenter og mer enn 50 lærere, ansatte og inviterte artister. Planen var at studenter fra ulike institusjoner skulle jobbe sammen, lage og fremføre musikk. Parallelt hadde ansatte faglige diskusjoner knyttet til utfordringer i høyere rytmisk musikkutdanning
Dette var topic:
As popular music performance education increasingly aims to prepare students for careers as independent artists and creative entrepreneurs, educators are tasked with designing programs that engage with how the students and their musical practice can either create their own workplace within or join existing opportunities within the music business. The discussion will focus on how educational programs can be designed to support students’ artistic growth while fostering the practical and entrepreneurial competencies necessary for professional success. Key themes include: Curriculum Design – How can courses integrate creative development with entrepreneurship training, offering students tools for navigating the industry without compromising their artistry? Practical Skills and Output – What practical elements should entrepreneurship education cover, such as project management, self-promotion, social media and branding, networking, and financial literacy? Feedback and Dialogue – How can teachers provide feedback on creative work in ways that challenge and refine students’ artistic and professional ambitions while avoiding taking on the role akin to managers or A&Rs? This roundtable will bring together diverse perspectives to explore how education can balance fostering individuality with preparing students for the realities of the music business, ensuring they leave equipped to thrive as self-sustaining artists.
