| The Recording Institute Of
Detroit is making an interesting offer to City Of Detroit high school students in music or
media curriculum. The Offer goes like this "Get an A and Get An Online
Course." Through Funding by the John Philippe Mario Scholarship Fund and the
Danan L. Potts Scholarship Fund, the institute will offer free online training in music
recording and production to each Detroit Public School student getting a final
grade of "A" in their music or media classes for the 2000-2001 school
year. Students are awarded a two-year online study subscription to students in 5
recording and production courses offered by The Recording Institute Of Detroit. |
| The online RID study, through Alexander
Magazine, allows the student to bypass between 40% and 50% of the RID campus
attendance requirements by "placing out" of selected classes by exam. To
get certified as complete on the campus courses students must take the practical
"hands-on" portion of the training. |
| To make sure that the leading music and media
students actually get fully- certified on a course, the ten best students will be offered
free attendance at weekend recording courses during July, 2001 to meet all certification
requirements of RID's Pro Audio Specialist program. |
| To assist the high school students interested
in music recording and production, RID will be submitting a formal proposal to the Detroit
Public Schools Curriculum Services Department. RID will be offering licenses to schools
holding these types of classes that allow interactive study of the Pro Audio Specialist
study module to students in the school library facilities. Thus the students can
become well-prepared for the recording classes being scheduled in the summer break after
the next school year. |
| The Recording Institute of Detroit and the
John Phillipe Marino Scholarship fund are doing this to help Detroit maintain its
reputation of being a leader in the music and recording fields, worldwide. The funds
to start the John Phillipe Marino Scholarship Fund were donated by the family of a
successful RID Graduate who passed early in his career. The funds were specifically
donated to help Detroit Public School students get a head-start in the music and recording
field. Danan Potts was a former Detroit Public Schools instructor.
Publishing royalties from his works are used to fund the scholarship fund. |
