Recording demos & starting a record label: just another summer at Pearl-Cohn posted by: Bass, Joseph A - MNPS at Jul 26, 2012 3:04:00 PM Metro students Lagnajita Mukhopadhyay, Jevon and Jordan Donaldson, and Ariell Pryor had the opportunity to work with well-known Nashville musicians to cut artist demos in Pearl-Cohn Entertainment Magnet High’s studio. This comes on the heels of Music Makes Us and Warner Music Nashville providing two week summer internships for 20 Pearl-Cohn students, where they learned about the record business first-hand. Dave Pomeroy, bassist and president of the American Federation of Musicians, along with drummer Craig Krampf, keyboardist Jim “Moose” Brown, and guitarist Gary Burnette provided tracks for the demos. Studio production services were provided by Bob McCracken, audio production teacher at Pearl-Cohn, assisted by Warner Music interns Mario Rosales, Deon’te Jones, Luis Trejo, and Vincent Zirker. At the end of the recording session, each of the students gets a mix of their song. This is the first effort of the new student-run record label at Pearl-Cohn to introduce itself to Metro students who dream of becoming recording artists. A good time was had by all! Read More >>
Explore your school options with the Fall Application posted by: Bass, Joseph A - MNPS at Oct 27, 2011 6:56:00 PM More options than ever before. More opportunities to see those options first hand. More schools and programs that are as unique as your child. The Fall Application is so much more than a name change. What used to be called the Lottery is now the Fall Application.

Our Fall Application website can guide you through all of the options and help you find the best ones for your child. Our Customer Service Center can also help you through the process.

There you can meet representatives from nearly three dozen schools, learn about their programs and offerings, and even apply on the spot.
