Coherence and Chohesion

How are you connected to the culture of your project?

I feel that I am connected to the culture of my project- music business in the christian industry- because I am a student in the music business program and I also am a Christian. I am interested in learning more about how Christians within this industry practice their management skills and handle financial and ethical issues along the way. In the future I hope to find myself as a Christian who works within the industry and uses biblical instruction as my guidebook. Through this ethnographic study, I hope to see a practical and hands on approach to how this can be done.

Additionally, I have been able to be involved in a number of different Christian music industry environments. For example, at one point I spent a year working for a ministry which had a large tour which traveled and put on events across the country with Christian artist and bands. This allowed me to see one perspective of the culture. Additionally, I have been able to see the framework and lives of Christian artist's culture since living here in Nashville. Through different events and internship opportunities I have been able to see other perspectives in this area. This has helped to lead me to my overall idea and considerations for my project.
