Music Producer Qualifications

Education
There are no formal educational qualifications to become a music producer, but a degree can certainly help jumpstart your career. Many producers earn a bachelors degree in music production, music with an emphasis in production, or a related degree such as music education, media technology, sound recording, or audio engineering. Coursework will depend on which degree you pursue but will typically included classes in music history and theory, composition, ear training, sound editing, digital audio software, copyright law, artist and product management, music publishing and distribution, marketing and advertising, finance and accounting, and entrepreneurship.

Abilities
A music producer needs to have a good ear and a love of music. Most producers have some skill at musical performance and a general knowledge of the recording process and software used. You'll also need to know about how songs are created and how the recording industry works. Music producers must be well-versed in the legal aspects of music contracts and copyright law as well as how to manage the business aspects of a recording. It will be your job to keep recording projects on schedule and completed within an established budget. This can often take a lot of dedication and patience when working with creative musicians.

Experience
Many music producers begin as sound engineers or recording artists. You should have extensive musical and technical studio experience before trying to make it as a music producer. Working as an assistant for an experienced producer can be a great way to learn the ropes and gain the proper qualifications before heading out on your own.
