Jonathan Shaw PhD Campaign

I believe that to work in the music industry requires specialised training and knowledge. Educators and practitioners should focus on how business can affect their art. My PhD research focusses on how running a business creating music will impact the art created. The results of my research shall mean: I would become a doctor of music, assist in learning programmes for working musicians to become more effective, and help musicians earn a living from their music (beside relying on hitting it big as a dream). I would also hope to continue being able to coach, give workshops, encourage further study and consult for a prosperous music industry in Southern Africa.
