Education & Learning: Introduction
|
|
Conceived in 1990, Collage Learning was formed due to the need for local people interested in the music business and music production to get a better understanding of music industry practices. People were finding it increasingly difficult to comprehend the complexity of areas like copyright and artist contracts, and in response to this Collage Arts devised the first Music Business Course. Many young people who have studied on Collage Arts courses have gone onto wider success in the creative industries.
Learning facilities and resources include an Online Centre in Wood Green which boasts a 100 megabit broadband connection and 19 workstations with Applemacs and pcs equipped for all types of creative applications.
The Selby Recording Studios in Tottenham has 24 track digital/analogue facilities and a large control room. The Karamel Club venue is also used to train learners about live music engineering and event management.
The current training portfolio for Collage Learning is as expansive as many further education colleges with accredited courses in music business, performing arts, sound recording and video film making delivered as part of a widening curriculum.
The learning department also runs creative industry courses and workshops for 13 to 17 year olds and franchises its learning brand internationally with similar types of training offered in Rome.
Mulab
Based in Rome, Mulab is a not for profit social enterprise set up to offer music industry training for diverse and disadvantaged communities living in and around the city.
With the church controlling the lion’s share of funding earmarked for higher education, there are very few providers offering creative industry training other than a few elitist universities. By looking at the training model created by Collage Arts for the socially excluded, Mulab sought a partnership and licensed a sound recording course from Collage Arts’ Digital Arts Programme, and are now successfully delivering it in the Italian capital at level 2.
Mulab are able to offer their learners a wealth of generic life skills and real work experience at music festivals, live performance clubs, booking agents and record labels all over Italy whilst they are on the course and once they have completed the qualification.
