The music school, which has been operating now for seven years, has often used the open house format at the beginning of the term as a marketing tool for prospective students and customers to get a taste of the Avant Academy of Music music education for themselves. In the days before the pandemic, this would involve physically meeting the music mentors and getting a tour of the facilities. This personal approach has always been a hallmark of the Avant Academy of Music.
In light of the need to limit numbers because of the community spread of COVID 19, the team at Avant Academy of Music was inspired to embrace an online conference format for the open house, allowing persons to meet the music mentors of the school and to raise their questions and concerns about the program and be safe at the same time.
Glen Browne has performed with a wide range artists from the Wailers to Monty Alexander. He is also a highly sought after producer.
To provide additional value there will be sessions featuring leading Jamaican musicians discussing how they became the musicians they are today and how to be successful in life as a musician. The musicians that will be featured are, Jon Williams, Glen Browne, Mikey Bennett, Peter “Kongz” Samaru (Protoje), Devon Richardson (Dennis Brown), Dwayne “Livi” Livingstone, Michael Fletcher (Shaggy), Dennis Rushton, Junior “Bird” Baillie (Sean Paul), and Othniel Lewis.
This will be the first of a series of weekly virtual open houses as the school prepares to reopen for the new year on October 12, 2020.
