4 SHOW PRODUCTION There are people who love standing in the audience during a live show, gig, or convention; and then there are those who get a rush from making it all happen backstage. If you ve found yourself paying just as much attention to a band s light show as you have their music, you re probably one of those people. Every successful live event relies on a team of hard working, technically skilled professionals working behind the scenes to make sure it s a success.! The career opportunities in the world of live events extend beyond just the arena rock show; environments from corporate conventions to theme parks all utilize a combination of sound, lighting, and video equipment to put on a performance, event, or presentation. We think the best way to learn how a show is run is to get your feet wet in a real-world environment; that s why Full Sail s Show Production degree program is designed to give you a hands-on education to prepare you to work in any of these live settings. Operating at the front-of-house console, you ll mix the on-stage sound for live bands in one of our state-of-the-art live venue facilities. Our Show Production degree program will also show you how to design and program lighting systems (and learn what to do when something goes wrong). You ll also study how to design and install the proper audio and visual components to any room you may encounter, from a stadium to a classroom. The degree also includes concert media design, as you ll design, engineer, and manage a full-scale multimedia concert in Full Sail Live, our state-ofthe-art performance hall.! The work that you ll do in the Show Production degree program is as close to professional live production as you can get while still in school. As you work with fellow students and instructors who all share your passion for live event production, you ll develop the technical skills you ll need to launch a career in this industry and transform a night (or day) at a show, gig, or convention into an unforgettable experience.

5 MUSIC BUSINESS Although every job in the music business is unique, they all need to work in harmony to maximize an artist s potential.

To be an effective player in the music business, it s not just important to be good at what you do, but also to be well-versed in the many different roles within the industry.!! For example, a band s publicist may not need to book a tour, but being aware of how and why that tour is routed a certain way is invaluable knowledge when it comes to forming a media strategy. By teaching you about the many different roles in the business, the Music Business curriculum allows you to not only focus on what you do best, but also to ensure that your contributions to the big picture are as effective as possible. You ll learn these roles through courses in music-specific business subjects like Artist Management, Music Copyright and Publishing, Concert Management and Publicity, and Record Label Development, as well as general business concepts like marketing, distribution, and law.!! After you ve absorbed all the necessary knowledge from these varied courses, the Music Business Bachelor of Science Degree program culminates in a final project in which you analyze a music business company problem and develop managerial and entrepreneurial strategies to address it. In addition to business-specific topics, you ll also have courses focusing on communication skills, business statistics, professional presentation, and how to prepare yourself for that first step into the music business industry. To help you make that transition, we ve also got a team of Career Development professionals that can help you polish your interviewing skills and résumé and get you ready to enter the industry. In addition, our Career Development services and advisors will be available for support and assistance throughout your career not just during your education.
