[1]
Academics
Musicians Institute is a privately owned for-profit institution that is approved to operate in the State of California by the Bureau for Private Post-secondary Education and has been an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music since 1981.[2] Musicians Institute, however, is not a regionally accredited college.
Tuition
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, Musicians Institute's tuition and fees for 2009-2010 are $27,100.00, up 15.3% from 2008–2009, and books and supplies are up 4.6% at $2,184.00. A total of $29,284.00 a year.[3]
Musicians Institute offers financial aid and a variety of scholarships. However, financial aid does not usually cover all tuition costs.[4]
History
Musicians Institute was originally founded as The Guitar Institute of Technology in 1977. Based upon the educational philosophy of guitarist Howard Roberts, GIT was co-founded and managed by Los Angeles music businessman Pat Hicks. With the addition of the Bass Institute of Technology (BIT) in 1978 and the Percussion Institute of Technology (PIT) in 1980, GIT became Musicians Institute. MI co-founder Pat Hicks provided the organizational skills that turned Howard Roberts' educational philosophy into a functioning music school. [5] [6]
Musicians Institute has since been sold to, and is now owned by Japanese businessman Hisatake Shibuya. Mr. Shibya is also the president of Musicians Institute. MI is a for-profit, privately owned business.
Huell Howser video
In November 2010, Huell Howser recorded a music track and music video for an episode of California's Gold. It required Howser to sing Al Jolson's "California, Here I Come" twenty-seven times for the music track, and the video was shot on a Red One and two digital SLR cameras. The final scene was filmed on a jib in front of the Musicians Institute with Howser on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[7] The video was reviewed as having "a vibe akin to a Bollywood-meets-High School Musical casting call", with Howser's singing called "a Henry Higgins-esque patter".[8]
