Forums, chat rooms, blogs all about the various facets of the music business are here, as well as forums for student/mentor questions, assignment discussions, and homework queries. Relevant community downloads, video/audio demonstrations could be included and cross-linked with the Education Media module to provide discussion material to help instructors gauge student comprehension.

There is a natural overlap here with Pro Live Performance Services Modules, and moderators will need to be strict and persistent about the distinction between bitching about a club owner, and asking about the usual heirarchy of nightclubs in general. The former belongs in Pro Live Performance Services Forums, and the latter in this module. A distinction between general knowledge and specific experiences must be made to make this module work.

Pro musicians can make themselves available in chat rooms for MGN credits, and/or blog about experiences they've had that would be valuable to someone new to the business.

Again, it's important that moderators set the tone for these forums, lest the cynicism and negativity of old school veterans infect a newbie's enthusiasm.
