Sunday Nnamani

Abstract


Unemployment has become one of the major problems affecting growth and development in Nigeria. Today, it is observed that many Nigerian youth love music, others have been trained musically and still there are some who are musically talented but have no formal education and training in music. Therefore an entrepreneurial programme in music will bridge the gap between music and unemployment in the formal sector. Entrepreneurship music education focuses on the development of music skills or attributes that enables the realization of existing opportunities that leads to self-employment. In these days of economic depression and poor government revenues, entrepreneurship should be the key driver of our economy. Several areas of specialization abound in the music profession with their diverse advantages and benefits inherent in them. Music entrepreneurship is one of such areas of specialization which plays a key role in generating employment. The paper delves into music production business as a major component for generation of employment in music profession.
