Leadership Issues in Music

1.0 credits

This course will provide an understanding of what drives trends in innovative musical leadership in North America, and proposes ways in which young professional musicians can exercise leadership in shaping these trends to ensure a healthy and productive musical future. This course is based upon class interviews of five leaders in musical institutions in North America. Each guest is interviewed about this essential question: “What are the most critical priorities facing us as the musical leaders of tomorrow and what can we do to address them?” Guests are encouraged to illuminate how their own organizations have addressed these priorities through sustainable educational programs and initiatives.
