ABSTRACT

This chapter examines student team-based possibilities for expanding the range of delivery modes for internship programmes within a popular music degree. It suggests potential ways in which popular music-related internship programmes can further develop and progress in ways that support a deeper development of students' creativities. The chapter identifies the position that entrepreneurship within the context of popular music is unique, and thus it needs to be studied within the field of popular music education/higher popular music education (HPME) rather than in a separate business school. In terms of HPME, R. Bridgstock argument is similar to P. Burnard notion of multiple musical creativities. The chapter aims to make a contribution to understandings of how to foster multiple creativities at individual, group and institutional levels. The placement of individual interns with pre-existing organizations is arguably partly informed by the view that creativity is purely the product of individual talents and traits.
