ARTM 230 The Music Industry in Context (3)

From Columbia, Victor, and Edison to today’s music marketplace, we will examine the rise (and potential fall) of record labels, how technology has changed the way music is made and distributed, the link between social trends and music business trends, and whether the industry is adapting or bound for extinction. Students will explore the history of the music industry and the current music climate to address two questions: how did we get here, and where are we going?
