The Handbook on Music Business and Creative Industries in Education offers a unique "state of the field" on educational and pedagogical issues in the music business and the creative industries.
Creative arts research encompasses a range of sectors in the music and entertainment industries. These subfields include performance, technology, entrepreneurship, marketing, and social justice. Globally, formal training for such pathways happens most often in higher education. This handbook provides a practical and engaging resource for faculty, staff, administrators, graduate students, and industry members working on the "front lines" in teaching and learning. It presents a range of global perspectives from academics, BIPOC voices, and ECRs from the United States, the UK, Europe, Australia, and Canada. The authors gathered here draw from their expertise and use narrative analysis to support their perspectives.
Another factor that affects higher education stakeholders is the absence of a versatile resource on the teaching and learning issues in music business and related fields. While this handbook avoids overly prescriptive models of teaching and learning, it includes topical research through case studies, ethnographies, and a thorough cross-section of qualitative and quantitative methods.
The Handbook on Music Business and Creative Industries in Education is an invaluable resource for educators transitioning from industry to faculty appointments in higher education.
