INTERNSHIP-Non-Paid
INTRO
Summer 2013 internship is now filled.
This is an excellent opportunity for a student in a music major to gain valuable experience and training in the business of print music publishing.
The internship schedule will be flexible around the student's class schedule, and will be arranged between the student intern and the manager of the rental library. Once the student's internship schedule is set, the student is expected to adhere to that schedule as closely as possible.
Internship will be offered each semester. Alfred is located on Roscoe Blvd. in Van Nuys, near the 405 Freeway. Map
Rental Library: Alfred owns a large and ever growing library of performance works available to orchestras and other ensembles on a rental basis, including music from many classic films such as THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD, GONE WITH THE WIND, LORD OF THE RINGS and POLAR EXPRESS, operas by Gian Carlo Menotti, and works by many important composers such as Astor Piazzolla, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Robert Russell Bennett, Robert Shaw and many more.
Master Recordings: Originally created to promote the sale of Alfred’s arrangements, Alfred's library of thousands of recordings may be licensed for use in films, or a wide variety of other uses. Before the content can be licensed, the recordings are categorized by genre, type of performance, duration and other criteria.
