Commercial Music Badge

Page Content

The "Commercial Music Badge" is a micro-credential that provides practical training for 21st-century, professional, performing musicians. The intention is to better serve students who want a diversified skillset in the field of music. It is for those who are interested in music but not just a single, niche area. Our curriculum’s more practical, hands-on components provide an advantage over similar programs in the U.S. and make our students "Ready for Life" before they even graduate.

We have adapted to current music industry trends, which show that a diversified skillset is becoming increasingly crucial. We want our Eagles to soar upon graduation, not struggle on the fly. We intend for graduates from this program to tap into the creative economy deeper than ever before.
