Welcome to the Mmino BMW’s – Business Music Workshops
The domestic market in the South African music industry has been growing consistently since 1999 with local music forms such as African traditional, Afrikaans and Kwaito growing beyond expectations. As the industry grows, more and more people enter its halls and take part in its processes.
But as yet, there is little in the way of formal education or materials out there to help the aspiring entrant into the music business learn their way around. These BMW’s are specifically designed to address this.
These FREE music workshops and the on-going education programme provide a grass roots, ground-up education to newbies wanting to get into music, participant wanting to up their game and further themselves.
Thus a nation-wide series of workshops was staged in May and June of 2009 to help establish a bed-rock level of knowledge about the business. From this, 20 candidates will be selected to go into the second level of mentored distance learning in 2010, before a select few candidates are placed in music business learner-ships in the 3rd year (2011).
This hands-on, layered approach is designed to provide a sustainable, real interaction and assistance to youngsters committed to South African music and its business.
The workshops were held in Bloemfontein, Potchefstroom, Pretoria, Mamelodi, Johannesburg (west), Johannesburg (central), Soweto, Nelspruit, Durban, Cape Town and Stellenbosch.
