This book describes in detail how students and faculty in a higher education institution (college, community college, university, etc.) can start, maintain and achieve success with a student-run music business entity that may include a student-run record label, a music publishing company, a booking agency and a concert promotion company. This book uses a step-by-step approach to take the reader through all aspects of the music industry and shows what you need, and need to do, to establish those kinds of entities. The experience is enhanced by the addition of multiple useful graphs, charts and checklists. Also, the book offers and explains in detail many of the most-often used music industry agreements.
