Can a virtual
internship provide a truly educational experience compared to a traditional, on
location internship? Does a student in a
remote area of the country have to accept that not being close to a music
center precludes them from an internship with a major music corporation? This paper examines internships within the
music industry and, specifically, artist and repertoire internships. Traditional internships often require a student
to move to one of the core music business locations to have a viable internship
with a major corporation. However, the
available technology creates the opportunity for a virtual internship to be
successful with similar learning experience. Key components to a good internship are outlined in this paper, which
concludes with a case study.
