Musictech College is bridging the continental gap in the modern music industry
by opening the first college of American popular music in Europe next Fall.
McNally Smith College of Music, named for Musictech co-founders Jack McNally
and Doug Smith, will be located at the Media Docks in Lubeck, Germany -- one
of Europe's most advanced media facilities.<
"Popular music has become a global industry and we have seen significant
interest from Europe in our college programs in the U.S.," said Jack McNally,
President of Musictech College. "We want to make
the global music industry more accessible to European students and create greater
opportunities for them to play a part in the future of music."
The McNally Smith International Music Business Program in Lubeck gives students
an in-depth introduction to the music business with top instructors from the
college's U.S. campus and select leaders in the European music industry. Coursework
will range from contract law to entrepreneurship, and students can take elective
coursework in Recording, Music Production, Applied Music, and Songwriting.
Students at McNally Smith Europe also have the opportunity to study at Musictech
College in the U.S. This exchange program gives students greater access to the
global music industry and the opportunity to further broaden their studies with
diverse elective classes offered in the U.S. In addition, Musictech
College students will have the opportunity to study in Lubeck
for one or more semesters.
