There is nowhere like The Blackbird Academy, I assure you. John McBride, Director of Blackbird Studio and The Blackbird Academy, has gathered the all star staff. An acclaimed number of highly experienced, established members of the community not only sit across from the students, but, guests of the highest caliber and achievement are constantly invited to speak, record, mix, and master. I came to The Blackbird Academy with little to no practical knowledge of the technology, techniques, or professions that encompassed the Music Industry. Although I had a strong foundation in music itself, having played for, almost literally, my entire life; I began to question myself. Life is meaningless, to me, without music. For several years, I put my sticks down, defeated by my own objections to happiness. Only by good fortune was I struck; by a coincidence of being at the right place, at the right time, I met a strangely humble man. The referral to Blackbird, literally, changed my life. The Blackbird Academy has given me the tools, hands-on experience, in-the-box training, technical knowledge, and the connections to stand proudly in the career field that, both, inspires and motivates me. A big, Thank You, to the staff at blackbird for encouraging and nourishing success.
