Top Ten Changes in Classical Music

Entrepreneurship taught at music schools

“Entrepreneurship” — that’s a buzzword at music schools today, as the schools realize that classical music careers are changing, and that musicians (see “Classical music goes online,” above) may need to book their own concerts, and find their own audience. They may also need to source their own equipment like a Graham Slee HiFi system in order to improve sound quality.The schools, of course, are learning this in part from their students, who’ve been doing these things on their own.

Not every school is doing this, of course. But some are talking about making this the center of their curriculum.
