Jeff Rabhan, Chair for the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, said, “The goal of the program has always been to blur the line between the academic world and the professional world; this no-holds-barred curriculum is a real-time look at the music industry taught by seasoned professionals whose knowledge comes from experience."
Co-instructors include Universal Music Enterprises President/CEO Bruce Resnikoff, Topspin CEO Ian Rogers, and WMG Rhino Entertainment Senior Vice President, Global Sales & Digital Strategy David Dorn.
In addition to the 14-week Master Class, “The Music Business NOW,” the program will include three ancillary classes that will focus on digital marketing and distribution, social media and digital strategy, and artist and brand development of entertainment properties, with more to be added.
This is the place where both professionals and hopefuls will have the rare opportunity to both learn from and network with a who’s-who of the most powerful and savvy executives in the industry, in addition to participating in hands-on projects that provide real world learning opportunities.
