Promotion/Advertisement Techniques Used In Music Business; Radio and Interviewing Etiquette (Interactive Activity); Dress Code/The Power of the Color - Students learn how color can tell the consumer a lot about how major that artist/musician is. For instance, your larger well known recording artists wear clothes that are gold or silver (Michael Jackson or Britney Spears) because it represents success, power, and money. That determines if the consumer sees this person as an A-List Artist or a C-List Artist.
