This study examines the inclusion of the music products industry as part of an overall music business curriculum in collegiate music industry programs. Historically, most music industry curricula have focused heavily on topics such as recording, live performance, music publishing, music licensing, music and media, and artist management.

It further examines the curriculum of many collegiate music business programs as correlated with the employee candidate skills and knowledge needs of retailers and manufacturers of the music products industry through two research studies.concerning copyright.

When you ask adults about the most rewarding experiences from participation in a school ensemble music program, they invariably recount tales of tours and performances away from school. These include performances in the local town, at a rest home, music festival, or a trip to another community, state or country. For many directors, the thought of planning travel right now can be daunting. We are still in the throes of the worst pandemic in over a century; health concerns are high, budgets are tight, and the red tape to plan a tour with a school and district can be daunting. However, if we can all take a moment to think of all the rewards to students and school ensemble programs, one begins to see that the benefits far outweigh the hassles.
