Royal Oak, MI, August 28, 2008 – Jason Gittinger, owner of the Detroit School of Rock and Pop Music, introduces new classes scheduled to begin September 22nd. The Detroit School of Rock and Pop Music has been well received since opening April 2008. Positive enrollment has allowed the school to expand its musical curriculum, adding five new classes including: Live Audio 101, Entertainment Law 101, Indie Rock 101, Studio Techniques 101 and Music Theory 101, designed to educate musicians on every aspect of the music industry.
“Our summer camps were well attended. Enrollment is strong, and we anticipate maximizing our building capacity by the end of the year,” said Gittinger, owner of the Detroit School of Rock and Pop Music. “My goal is to positively influence and increase our music community. These enrichment classes will benefit local musicians by giving them hands-on learning sessions with experienced professionals dedicated to either helping begin or advancing their music careers.”
