Public interest in becoming involved in the recording and entertainment industry has been an ever increasing phenomenon over the last decade. Individuals who are looking for instruction in the field of music industry are faced with a large, and often confusing, number of educational options. The matching of personal dreams to an appropriate course of study is – at best - difficult to most. The educational choices range from four-year degree college programs to on-line courses.

At the top of the ladder are the universities--mostly located in the recording capitals of the nation…Los Angeles, New York, Nashville, etc., who offer music industry degree programs. These programs are widely considered to be unrivaled in scope, depth and job placement. For those who can afford it, and can pass the entrance requirements, such programs are the appropriate choice. The next tier of programs is populated by colleges located outside of the recording capitals. These programs generally offer a more modest range of music industry courses. These programs can vary widely in terms of instructional quality, entrance and exit requirements and costs.

Music Industry Educators' teaching model combines the best of both worlds. MIE courses feature a partnership between industry professionals; with all of the real world experience necessary to understand the quickly changing industry--combined with an experienced instructor, with the knowledge of how to present material in a way students can comprehend. 

Music Industry Educators’ online classes

Music Industry Educators(MIE) offers all curricula instruction online.  Through MIE, students experience a full range of tools not offered through traditional models.  Along with the increased retention, reduced learning time and convenience, the particular advantages of MIE’s online classes include:

Any time 24/7. Unlike a specific 1-3-hour period that is set for a conventional course, MIE students can access the online school at any time at their convenience. Courses are self-pacing for a slow or quick learner which reduces stress and increases our student’s satisfaction. Cross time-zone communication is difficult to arrange in real time although effortless when collaborating through electronic messaging using the Internet.

Any place. MIE students do not have to meet in person. MIE students can log on at work, at home, the library, in a community learning center or from their hotel when travelling.

Asynchronous interaction. Unlike face-to-face or telephone conversations, electronic mail or discussion forums do not require participants to respond immediately. As a result, our student interactions can be more concise and to the point; discussion can stay on track, thus students have the opportunity to craft their responses. This can lead to more thoughtful and creative conversations.

Group collaboration. Electronic messaging and discussion forums create new opportunities for groups to work together by creating shared electronic conversations that can be thoughtful and more permanent than voice conversations. Interactivity engages users, pushing them rather than pulling them through training. Sometimes aided by online moderators, these internet seminars can be powerful for learning and problem solving. Music Industry Educators is the world’s leader in online Music Industry Education.  To experience our online learning school first hand, please contact student services to demo one of our many online courses.
