New Skills 4 New Artists is a project born in 2019 and conceived with the aim of promoting the acquisition of digital, business, and technological skills by musicians starting their professional career.
The advent of the information society, where the concert and performance market has become global, has fundamentally altered the music industry. The success of a professional musician today depends not only on his or her artistic abilities but also on his or her technological and commercial skills. The NS4NA project undertakes this paradigm shift that musicians are facing and has the following objectives:
- To equip musicians with the necessary tools, as well as to connect them with the current opportunities and challenges.
- To design and test an interdisciplinary training programme
- To create and establish the basis for a sustainable lifelong learning training programme ready for transfer and integration into training institutions in Europe.
The course has 3 modules: Entrepreneurship and Project & Business Development, Technology for Performing Musicians, and Digital Marketing, Communication and Social Media. The deadline for registration for the first edition of the New Skills 4 New Artists course is 5 February 2021. This course is for musicians who reside in Spain, Belgium and Ireland and who are between 18 and 35 years old. All music genres are welcome!
This Erasmus + project is funded by the European Union through SEPIE and is led by the Reina Sofía School of Music in partnership with Cork Institute of Technology (Ireland), Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel (Belgium) and Grupo DEX (Spain).
More information on the course, registration and selection process can be found on the dedicated websites.
