Featured Early Stage Effort
Diane Roscetti at the University of California at Northridge
has spent roughly a year developing her music
entrepreneurship course. In this interview, Diane
shares her experiences during the process.
Perhaps the most interesting point that Diane shares with
us concerns the weight of business topics in her class.
This is a cogent and critical point that many in the Arts
may not realize in the initial stages of program design.
We should note that as these efforts emerge, consensus
building among peers and administration appears easier to
aquire than it was even two years ago. The reasons for this
are varied, obviously, but we must recognize that Arts
Entrepreneurship education is growing and our collective
efforts have made the development and institutionalization
process smoother for others.

Tayloe Harding, Dean of the School of Music at the University of South Carolina and former
President of the College Music Society briefs us on
his development efforts at USC.
Program developers must address a myriad of issues.
Logistics, finances and degree plans are a small sampling
of the larger picture of implementation. In this interview,
Tayloe discusses a number of solutions he developed at
Valdosta State and some thoughts about entrepreneurship for
music students at USC.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this interview is
how Tayloe envisions Music Leadership as a student outcome.
It is an extraordinarily concise and powerful view that I
hope will assist many.
Also of interest is Tayloe's conception of entrepreneurship
in the context of American music and leadership education.
I trust this cogent view will inspire all who endeavor.
