COMBO has been inundated with ads lately for the many Music Business schools in the nation – from New York City to California. I have been trying to figure out how to counter these with letting you know that we have a super good education right here in Denver and Boulder when what should pop up but a writing by COMBO’s own Chris Daniels, a prof at the University of Colorado in Denver. This is as good as it gets to let you know that you can receive a quality education in the business of music and entertainment right here and you’ll save tons of money by not having to pay for an apartment near an out of town campus! And if you have a question or need some extra help, please feel free to contact COMBO at info@coloradomusic.org If we don’t have the answer, we’ll contact one of our members to get their expert advice.
Chris writes: I’m so glad to be teaching at the University of Colorado Denver this Spring Semester. I’ve been a college professor since 2002 when Dr. Mat at Arapahoe gave me my first appointment. I joined CU Denver in 2004 part-time and full-time in 2006. They have what Billboard Magazine recognized as one of the best music, recording and music business programs in the country. And we have incredible students!!!
Some of my former students are touring with Mavis Staples, Rihanna Gideon, Lake Street Dive and working with AEG, Live Nation and all around the globe! I feel really honored and lucky to teach at CU. If you are interested in the program check out “The College of Arts & Media” at CU Denver. They are on the cutting edge of music, business and technology. But I have to laugh at the photo – I look pissed off but I was saying “YES!!!!” to a student who totally got a point about publishing … not the easiest bit of music law to understand. Just FYI.
Christie Chambers: Back to work this week after a much needed break!! Busy busy, but good to be back. I love the music industry & I love the program that I help run. It is a pleasure & privilege to work with so many incredibly talented and inspiring people. Check out some of these great shots of our students and faculty in action at the CU Denver Music & Entertainment Industry Studies Department. Doing what they do best…. teaching, learning and being awesome .
