Career and Professional Development for Musicians

MSC 470 tackles everything around the music itself, the career infrastructure that determines whether your playing actually reaches audiences and pays the bills. You'll work through five practical modules (portfolio, concert programming, AI tools, recording, community outreach) that each feed a single deliverable: a polished professional portfolio with CV, grant samples, programmed concerts, recorded tracks, and an outreach plan. Think of it less as a lecture course and more as a guided studio where you leave with the actual materials you'd send to auditions, festivals, and funders, filling the gap that performance-focused training tends to ignore.
