Take Marketing, Business, and Arts Administration classes. Arts Administration is pretty much dealing w/ the Admin. part of the Performing Arts (which could apply to management and even promotion). Otherwise, work on something to do w/ Business and/or Marketing. Then go to college to get your Bachelors. If you want to deal w/ performers, performance buildings, and/or music conservatories, then they are looking for someone with those degrees, plus a strong background/love for music, so if you can take some music courses that would be great (music history, etc.) Good luck!

I would say marketing and business classes - know your way around finance too! Seriously though if you want to be in music promotion or a music manager... School doesn't hurt but the only thing that will get you a job in the music business is experience so get yourself an internship or better yet just got find a local artist to manage and make it up as you go along- there is nothing like experience in the music field to get you a job in the future- it's all who you know so go pick up so work - even if you do it for no money, promoting or managing just to meet people and get experience. I'm not saying education isn't important but having actually worked in music will get you more jobs and prepare you more than any college course. Best of luck, -Rick-
