Addressing Community Needs

“I attended a prominent online music school, but the coursework seemed out of date and it often took awhile to get a response from instructors. I am sure that on-campus would have been better, but I didn't want to relocated to Boston just to get a quality education.”

“Most online courses are for passive rather than active learners. They don't adapt to meet the individual needs and journeys of each learner. They are too cookie-cutter with a 'follow the rest of the class' mentality that just hasn't worked for me.”

“I have two kids and I have a full-time job. I really need an option that is flexible around my schedule, affordable, and enables me to learn at my own pace. While online education and training platforms exist, they are not specific to the entertainment industry. I just need more options.”
