Students who play a musical instrument or are vocalists are eligible to apply for the music management program. Training in music theory, piano and keyboard, and music history, as well as weekly one-hour lessons and coaching sessions with teachers in their performance area, combine with arts management and business classes to create well-rounded students. Students not only participate in music management events, but also in many of the large ensembles that make up The Hartt School's musical training program.

The music management (BMus) program prepares students to enter the rapidly expanding and perpetually changing music industry. Courses in music and the performing arts are combined with business classes to form this innovative academic curriculum. The coursework prepares the student to thrive in extraordinary careers such as record production, band management, or fundraising for an arts organization.
