🧠📚🎶 Why You Should Learn The Music Business

The Music Business is one of the most notoriously complex businesses and industries to navigate.

While the music is important - the love, passion, energy, and money artists invest into their music - that same attention needs to be put into learning and understanding the business or you're setting yourself up for failure. It's important to understand it is the Music - BUSINESS.

The Music Business can be a challenge, but that's what keeps it exciting! Understanding the music business is essential, yet it remains one of the most overlooked areas for aspiring musicians. There is no blueprint for success in the Music Industry - it can come in many different ways. Learning the business gives you an incredible advantage and mindset. This knowledge will give you great perspective and help you creatively, efficiently, and effectively move and navigate through its complexities.

Music Business Education is the number one separator between professional musicians and hobbyists.

🧠🎶 A Comprehensive K - 12 Course Built with GameClass

Lobstah Claw Music has created a comprehensive, video-game based Music Business Course designed and structured as a sequenced learning pathway for learners from Kindergarten to 12th grade. We believe in the power of Education, especially combined with modern tech and AI capabilities, and the power of Game-based learning. We've partnered with GameClass to create a visual and engaging Music Business course that pairs learning with popular video game clips - an amazing way to keep the modern learner engaged.

The music industry is one of the most complex and often misunderstood fields, yet also one of the most sought-after, driven by our love of music. With this course, it is our goal to educate and inform learners not only about the music business, but business and entrepreneurship in general. This is an excellent tool to teach learners of all ages and develop strong leaders.

Using our extensive network to work with Subject Matter Experts like Musicians, Producer, Sound Engineers, Music Mangers, Music Marketers, Music Supervisors and other Sync Professionals, Studio Owners, Label Owners, VPs, CEOs, and more, combined with professional Graphic Design, Curriculum Design, Instructional Design, and direct Education experience, our course is built for the modern learner with gamification and engagement to provide a clear and comprehensive framework of the music business.

Each concept is broken into short, manageable lessons and projects. The progression follows a scaffolded order, ensuring that each new skill builds logically on the previous one to promote mastery and retention.

🧠🎶 Targeted e-Learning Courses for Music Industry Paths

Lobstah Claw Music has created a comprehensive eLearning Course designed to provide independent artists with the knowledge to succeed in the music industry. This is for artists who are going for it, with an innate drive to succeed - those who can't give up even if they wanted to.

The world is full of incredible talent - instrumentalists, musicians, producers, engineers, and more. But too often, that same passion we pour into mastering our craft isn’t matched when it comes to mastering the business. The truth is, the two must go hand in hand. If you dream of making a living as a guitarist, practicing every day is essential, but it’s just as powerful to dedicate that same discipline to understanding how the music business really works - or at least finding someone who does that you trust.

Built by a professional Curriculum, Instructional, and Graphic Designer, who also happens to be an independent Musician and Producer. All this experience helps make our eLearning course targeted, clear, digestible, and understanding.
