audio supervision
Explanation:
This basically refers to the activities carried out by people in a studio control room or at the mixing desks of a live performance. Nothing to do with "management" as such in this case. I think "audio supervision" would be more or less the nearest term in English, but "music/audio production", "sound control" as suggested by another poster or even "audio engineering" would also all cover it I think depending on the exact course content -- I would ideally choose the term depending on what that course content is.

Sorry, that should be "musical administration" alone

disagree  Neil Coffey: Sheila -- in this case I don't think that's what it's referring to. It's actually a technical term referring to mixing and other sound production techniques.

  -> I don't think it's mixing, Neil but I agree it's a more technical term. Couldn't find any backup though for sound production

Reference information:
This subject deals with the acoustics/sound diffusion characteristics in recording and post-production studios.

Sorry I am unable to provide the EN translation for this, but I'm sure some colleague will work that out for you.

Here's an excerpt from the website of an Italian conservatory:
'LABORATORIO DI REGIA E DIFFUSIONE DEL SUONO
Principali caratteristiche acustiche degli studi di registrazione e post-produzione.
Creazione di ambienti di lavoro orientati alla registrazione, post-produzione e performance dal vivo.
Classificazione e descrizione dei vari tipi di diffusione in relazione al loro utilizzo tipico e valutazione diretta delle caratteristiche d'ascolto.'
