What education and training is required to become a music director?

Answer 1

There is no formal educational requirement for a job as a Music Director. Many stations prefer or require a college degree or broadcasting school training. If the individual does attend college, he or she should take courses in communications, journalism, music, and broadcasting. He or she should also work on the school's radio station. This will give the individual hands-on training. There are many radio broadcasting vocational and trade schools located around the country. Although a majority of these schools are good ones, some are not. Check into the school's reputation through the state's Attorney General's office and/or the Department of Consumer Affairs.
