Whether a novice or expert, students pursuing a mentorship in music can significantly improve their discipline, self-confidence, creativity, and mental capacity. Students can focus their mentorship on the creation, recording, or performance of music with a focus on composition, sound engineering, conducting, or music production. They can also take a more interdisciplinary and academic approach through musicology, with a focus on cultural and historical periods of music, or the application of music, such as in art therapy. Past student projects have included a historical analysis of Detroit techno’s evolution, a complete full-length electronic music composition, an original a capella arrangement for a student’s school ensemble and a research paper analyzing the “glocalization” of the music industry.
