The Entrepreneurship Center for Music (ECM) at CU Boulder College of Music is a national leader in professional development for musicians. As one of the first such programs in the country, the ECM is itself an entrepreneurial endeavor, developing new paradigms for education, leadership and advocacy in the emerging field of arts entrepreneurship.
The mission of the CU Boulder Entrepreneurship Center for Music (ECM) is to equip today’s music students with the skills and tools they need to create sustainable careers in the arts. With the arts business undergoing enormous changes in how content is produced, distributed and consumed, ECM programming goes beyond the traditional career skills taught at some music schools. Students are encouraged to develop entrepreneurial skills to explore the vast opportunities inherent in a changing marketplace and develop plans to implement career-enhancing ventures across the artistic spectrum.
