For those interested in exploring how the technological innovation is influencing not only the music business, but the entire process of how we create, UCLA's Music Innovation Summer Institute provides a unique opportunity to earn credit and meet industry innovators.

Guest Post by Dae Bogan on Dae Bogan Music

Join us this summer at our Music Innovation Summer Institute at UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music:

  • Earn 8 units of UCLA credit while meeting innovators in music and technology.
  • Learn to apply your own skills with the changing world of music, Internet, production, and technology.
  • Look forward, not just back, in understanding how technology is changing how we create, collaborate, distribute, produce, enjoy live performance, and build new businesses.

Experiment. Make new contacts and build new communities. Find other like-minded students to launch new businesses and project with. We will explore digital disruption of existing models, what already is happening with/to music, and what may be happening over the next 3-10 years.

How: Register now at http://summer.ucla.edu

Two 4-unit Music Industry Program classes form the center of our Music Innovation Summer Institute:

  • Music Disruption, Music 2020 and Building New Futures — Dr. Gigi Johnson
  • Music Tech Innovation, Launching New Ventures — Dae Bogan

The Institute will include speakers, local site visits, receptions, and other programs with creative and industry leaders. The program also includes a career coaching program in partnership with iCadenza (bios) to help students think and plan their careers.

We welcome undergraduates from not just music, but also computer science, marketing, pre-law, economics, music industry, journalism, film, TV, and any other field. We also welcome graduate students, high school seniors, and non-students who would like to dive deeply for 6 weeks.
