The classes of the academy will be taking place online, in English, every week on Saturdays between 10:00 and 12:00 CET, followed by consultations with experts on Thursdays between 19:00 and 20:30 CET. We cover a significant portion of the costs, including participation in the international event for our TOP-10 scoring students. However, selected applicants will be asked to contribute with a participation fee of 100 EUR as a co-funding measure. Several scholarships are available to cover the participation fee for those who would otherwise not be able to participate.
Ten successful students of the Academy will have the opportunity to travel to the Mastering the Music Business, the first and biggest international music business conference and showcase festival in Romania. The event is an excellent opportunity for students to apply the knowledge they will gain during the digital sessions, meet each other in-person, and connect to the wider European music community. The project is supported by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) under the European Commission program ‘Creative Europe’.
