NETWORKING IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS

At IMB School we firmly believe in networking as an essential activity in the music sector.

Firstly because it is one of the most effective sources of professional opportunities, and secondly because the network of relationships that our students establish with their peers, teachers and professionals in the music business contributes to defining their own profile and steering their professional careers.
