CMU
CMU helps people to navigate and understand the music business through journalism, training, consultancy and events.
We ensure that everyone working in the music industry not only knows about the latest developments, disputes and debates, but also fully understands the background to breaking stories, and appreciates how they will impact on the ways people create, consume, release, perform, market and monetise music.
Our journalism is available via the CMU website and CMU Daily bulletin, and we deliver music business training online with the CMU masterclasses, in-house for music companies, and through educational programmes at industry organisations.
Our consultancy unit offers music business expertise to companies and organisations from across the music industry and beyond, undertaking research projects; developing and delivering training, resources, campaigns and events; and advising on how the music industry works and how it is evolving.
