Project Management Music Education Industry

Question: Discuss about the Report of Project Management for Music Education Industry. Answer: People who work primarily in music industry understand the importance of teaching the children with music as they know the benefits of the art form. Learning music increases the childrens self-confidence, self-discipline and helps them progress in life with such motivation that they attain self-efficacy. Australia lacks in provision of music education in schools as only 23% of the government schools offer music as a subject and in the private schools it is 88%. There are many budding musicians and singers lining up at the reality shows for hours eagerly waiting to sing in front of the judges. A research in America has found that learning music can help improve the performance of under-performing students. This gives the government a chance to think about the opportunity to let the kids have access to music education. Most children these days grow up with music and many want to learn playing an instrument at least (Bach To Rock America's Music School, 2016). Bundoora Place is a small town 16 km from Melbourne district where the population is about 26,000. Piano is the most popular instrument that students love to play here as it is the easiest to acquire and learn since there are many tutors who can teach. It is not typically hard unlike the instruments such as Trumpets and flute that require breath control. The physical wellness becomes a key role in playing wind-type instruments (Empson, 2016). This makes the instruments like Piano and drums to be preferred more by the children. Funding for the arts department has always been an issue in every country since the economy of the country would not increase with the increase in musicians of the nation. In Bundoora place, there are no certified tutors who teach exclusive music to children. Parents need to take the children to nearby places in order to find those who can teach and who actually have experienced with music. There aren't many music stores in Bundoora place but the availability o f music teaching places can be found out easily. The survey in the music stores can give out the sales in the musical instruments which can be useful in predicting the demand and the number of people who are actually interested in music. Then this information can be dug deeper to analyse what the children's market can possibly be. This would also give out the number of people who want to have access to the music instruments and can be prospective learners also. Anyone with an experience can teach music and instruments at any point of time and there can be no evidence for it. There are several websites who provide information about the music tutors where people can contact them through the websites and learn music. Website like Musicteacher.com provides the necessary information where people can get the information like what instrument one wants to play and how many tutors are ready to teach and how much they charge for an hour. Since people have to go all the way out of Bundoora Pla ce in order to get tutors, a business startup in Bundoora Place would be a great move since the convenience factor comes into play and this would probably help them into preferring the music instruction centres in Bundoora than the ones that are away from the place. The size of the market is about 25K people where the children can range about 20% which gives around 5000 children. In that there can be a 35% of the kids who are in the learning phase of their life cycle. That gives us a rough figure of about 1750 children. Even if the business acquires 30% of this number, the business would be more than just success. References Bach To Rock America's Music School. (2016). How Large is the Music Education Industry?
