When professional music curricula, entrepreneurship education, advocacy training and
community engagement meet...the music leaders of a new era emerge.
The Institute supplements the School's superior musical training in performance, musicianship and music education with a flexible program that prepares students to emerge as leaders in music.
Our goal is to help students develop a career in music that has positive and lasting effects on communities and audiences. By catalyzing and nurturing the leadership potential in students and alumni through classes in entrepreneurship and advocacy, workshops, and engagement with the Columbia, S.C. community, we are helping to create the music leaders of a new era.
