Building a Stronger Music Community Through Education
ATXM's Education Program is designed to help musicians develop the business skills needed to thrive in today's evolving music industry.
Through our partnership with St. Edward's University, we're creating a new educational hub on South Congress that combines in-person learning, online resources, networking opportunities, and practical industry insights from experienced professionals.
This is just the beginning.
Additional Master Classes are planned throughout the year covering topics such as sync licensing, marketing and promotion, contracts, copyright, and other essential areas of the music business.
