Who Should Consider Music Business Internships?
Getting your education in the music business takes time and hard work, even for those with the most talent. This is a diverse industry with a wide range of different avenues you could take for your future career. Internships open the door for you to explore these opportunities in the real world, getting an idea of what goes into the work you’ll do.
We encourage you to think about internships if any of the following apply to your situation:
- You’re passionate about music. You’re ready to test that passion through a working commitment.
- You have the means to live and travel within industry hubs, such as Los Angeles, where your music internship may be located.
- You have the legal ability to work in the U.S. and do not need sponsorship for employment to do so.
- You can commit to at least 20 hours a week learning the industry and putting your heart into the work.
- You’re looking for an opportunity to explore what music could mean for you.
The internships we offer cover many areas of the music industry. Whether you’re interested in maximizing artist exposure through lucrative Apple Music internships or prefer the business side with Warner Music Group internships, there’s an avenue for you to explore.
Internships for High School Students in the Music Business
One of the opportunities that may be the right fit for you is a music entertainment internship for high school students. If you’re young and ready to explore your future potential career, internships are an excellent way to do so. They allow you to get insight into what this career path may look like for you and could help you make the right decision about your future educational goals.
Internships for high school students are limited, and they are only available to those who can dedicate the time and work to them. These are real positions that enable you to get industry experience in some of today’s largest companies.
What You’ll Learn in Music Business Internships
Why an internship? You’re getting an education in the industry, and you’re ready to start your career. But an internship is more than just another course. It’s an opportunity to explore the real-world applications of the industry yourself. There are numerous benefits to taking on an internship, such as:
- Gain practical skills that employers want to see you already have. This gives you the competitive edge over others when you’re ready to apply for positions and start your working career. You cannot get music industry skills without spending time in these positions.
- Get hands-on application of all you’ve learned. Internships help to fill in the gaps between what you learn in a course and what the real-world experience is like. That gives you the ability to understand how well this career path could fit your needs or if you may benefit from another direction.
- Explore more than one career path. There’s no rule that says you can only explore a single path in the music industry. With internships, you gain the opportunity to try out a few different opportunities, allowing you to have a better idea of what you’re most passionate about and interested in.
- Build those connections. Internships we offer build connections for you. They can help you build a positive reputation in a highly competitive industry, helping you get your foot in the door.
- Get into the industry now. The best benefit? You’re in the industry, contributing and making a difference. You’ll gain more than knowledge, but a level of confidence in yourself that’s hard to get otherwise.
At Musicians Institute, we’re ready to help you find your way forward. We encourage you to explore the wide range of internships we offer, as well as other artist development and music business careers. With our expertise and industry reach, you’ll gain the tools and knowledge you need to chase your dreams.
