- Professionally mixed digital copy of the song that the student has written and recorded.
- Weekly workshops and seminars delivered by music industry and business professionals.
- Ongoing mentorship: TEMPO staff act as ongoing mentors to participating students as they complete the course and continue to explore opportunities in the music industry and beyond. TEMPO instructors are experienced Music Industry professionals, and deliver 'The Music Business' in collaboration with educators from the following educational institutions:

TEMPO also delivers “The Music Business Entrepreneur” outreach presentation which introduces students (grades 10-12) to entrepreneurship, career possibilities and post-secondary pathways, within and outside of the music industry.

Delivered by experienced music industry professionals and featuring a live performance by guest artist entrepreneurs, ‘The Music Business Entrepreneur’ is targeted at students with an interest in, or who are studying music, business or other arts programs.
