What does a music apprenticeship involve?

The music industry may be rock and roll but it still runs like any other business – it employs all sorts of people who work together to help their label or company turn a profit. As a music business apprentice, you could be working for a record label or artist management company and pitching in wherever you're needed in the office: you could be listening to demos, answering enquires from prospective artists, manning the phones or helping to promote a new artist.

Music companies range from huge corporations, like Columbia, to independent labels that may only employ a handful of people. Either way, you'll be surrounded by people who are as passionate about music as you are, and you'll be learning all about the industry from the inside.
