Why?

Clearly, the *business* curriculum will need to be different for an aspiring
professional, but that's an issue that only comes up near the end of formal
schooling, after the student is well established as someone who can start
looking for paying work as a musician. Up to that point, what's the
difference in the curriculum? Is it a difference in the music you assign?
And how long do the students take lessons before you begin to differentiate?
