Music technology students from Mitchell's Plain Music Academy have graduated from their three-month music technology course.
The course covered Studio One DAW, MIDI programming, audio recording, an introduction to music production, and basic mixing. On Saturday May 31, they graduated at their annual concert called Beyond a Decade.
A new addition to the academy, the dance academy, recently competed in the SASAFF (South African Sport Aerobics, Fitness and Hip Hop Championships) and the Hip Hop Unite Competition, securing top placements in several categories.
Last year, the school marked its 10-year anniversary ("Mitchell’s Plain Music Academy to see new programmes in 2025”, Plainsman December 14). “The focus is now beyond a decade and the integration of a fully functioning performing arts centre in Mitchell’s Plain,” said Trevino Isaacs, principal of the academy.
