“The students play guitar,bass, drums, keyboards, orthe academy accepts stu-dents who play other instru-ments like saxophone andstrings likes violinist andeven DJs,” Wood said.

Kids who are already in aband can apply with theirband and all of the memberscan participate in this acad-emy together.

“This kind of thing is per-fect thing for someone whois already in a band or whomay have done talentshows,” Wood said. “This isa big step in the right direc-tion of musicianship. We’reintroducing them to profes-sional musicians that canwork with them.”

The students will workwith a producer, will writeand record a song and makea music video.

They also attend seminarsabout the music industryabout ways that young peo-ple can be smart about whatthey’re doing about music.

“They will learn the valueof hard work and goal set-ting,” Wood said.

The students will learnabout marketing their musicon MySpace and Facebook.

“One of the add ons to ourprogram is a MySpace plat-

form for the students, andthey make a press kit pack-age. We talk about Face-book, too,” Wood said.“We’re always evolving theprogram to increase whatthe students get out of it andmake it relevant to today’smusic industry.”

Seminars will also covercopyright and licensing.

“The speakers will talk tostudents ways to going aboutdoing things, songwriting,publishing, touring, per-forming rights and groupslike ASCAP and BMI,” hesaid. “The great things to doand not to do, that type ofthing, how to start your ownband and get gigs – a lot ofkids need to know how to dothat.”

The rockers-to-be willspend much of their time atthe academy collaborating,rehearsing with their bandmates and writing moresongs.

“At the end of the week

they play three concerts,” hesaid. “Those are profession-ally produced. Then we havea mystery guest perform-ance – a signed touring bandthat comes in.”

Family and friends are in-vited to the concert that arerecorded and put on a DVD.

“The academy is a greatway for young musician tomeet others with similar as-pirations and they get to

work with professionals thatcan provide mentorship,”Wood said. “Whether a kid is12 or 18, they will receivesolid guidance and experi-ence in playing in a band andreally what a band does.”

The cost of the variouspackages covers housing (ifa three-day or week-longsession), meals, recording,music video production, pro-fessional live sound, staff of

musicians, bringing thesigned band to come in anddo a mystery guest perform-ance and the speakers thatare available at the semi-nars.

Wood added that parentshave to sign a waiver if theirchild is younger than 18, butthe students do live in stu-dent housing in the dorms atColorado University.
