School Of Rock Launching In Brisvegas - Rave Magazine - Tuesday, 07 July 2009

Brisbane is getting its own school of rock.  From next year, the new Music Industry College in Fortitude Valley will be open to Year 11 and 12 students keen to launch a career in the music business. The college’s aim, says principal Brett Wood, is to support those who want to get into the biz “but can’t get the specialised knowledge and support through the traditional school system.”

Each class will be capped at 15. Students who complete Years 11 and 12 will not only be eligible for a Queensland Certificate of Education, but also an OP and the Certificate II (Music Industry) training qualification. Wood has been running a range of youth-targeted music industry projects through his Starving Kids record label and training initiative. Apply to the college by Sep 19.
