How to apply and audition
Hands-on experience
I decided to take on a BM in music management聽with a jazz minor because smaller class sizes enable聽me to make real connections with faculty and聽staff, allowing them to help me choose which path聽to take. Participating in internships and 91成人导航鈥檚聽student-run label, Pac Ave Records, give me hands-on聽experience in the music industry field.
