Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute (WMI) announced The B-Side, a new program that introduces young people in New York City to the ins and outs of the business side of the music industry. The intensive workshop helps young people learn essential skills and connect with performing artists, music executives, accomplished producers, songwriters, and more for a personal look into the industry. The pilot intensive for 20 young people ages 14–17 will take place from February 11–18, 2023 at Carnegie Hall. Each participant who is selected for The B-Side will receive a stipend to participate. 

  
  The B-Side will introduce selected participants to the many roles available at a record label—such as A&R, business affairs, marketing, public relations, and finance—through field trips, guest speakers, panel discussions, and more. The curriculum was designed in collaboration with industry professional Leota Blacknor, consultant Dr. Donald Garner, program evaluator Dr. Chandra Llewellyn, and others. The Black Music Action Coalition (BMAC) is supporting The B-Side in a variety of ways including offering field trips to industry locations (concerts, record labels, recording studios); offering internship opportunities to advanced students; advising on curriculum; joining as guest speakers; and more.
