Description
Analysing developments in Music Business Education in Germany, Martin Lücke opens the volume by contextualizing the significant differences between more traditional universities and those focusing on applied science and compares public and private institutions. After a synopsis of how Music Business Education has evolved in Germany, Lücke generates empirical data by examining curricula, accreditation standards, program length, and qualitative analysis of teaching and learning across the sector. Lücke concludes with future directions of Music Business Education in Germany and implications for educators working in similar departments in other countries.
