Description

How do I develop a convincing artistic profile - and how do I position myself in the professional field of music?
What paths are open to me and what does "success" mean for me personally?
And how does an artist agency actually work?
Together with external guests such as Jonas Grunau (www.grunau-paulus.com) and Asya Fateyeva (https://www.asyafateyeva.com), we will take a look at the requirements of the profession. The seminar will help you to clarify your own goals and prepare yourself strategically for a constantly changing professional field. The focus is on both your artistic identity and the practical framework conditions of the musician's profession.

You will receive an in-depth overview of key topics such as

Building and sharpening your own artist profile

Orientation on the music job market and development of realistic career prospects

Contracts, artists' social security, taxes and suitable legal forms

The seminar combines artistic self-reflection with practical knowledge that you will need immediately after your studies.
