My goal for an MBA is to build tools for music creators. I joined a band during Covid and found a passion for digital music creation and machine learning, but I lack the business skills.
Top Choices:
HBS: Offers cross-registration with Berklee for classes like audio engineering and entertainment law, plus a chance to collaborate with potential users and experts in the music field.
MIT: Media Lab aligns with some of the audio breakthroughs I’m interested in
