The Singapore-based Academy of Rock, set up in 2007 and now recognised as the region\u2019s premier music education venue, offers a whole raft of qualifications not previously available to aspiring rock stars. The institution has implemented a comprehensive and well-structured curriculum that gives contemporary music students an educational grounding similar to those enjoyed by classical music performers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The academy works in close cooperation with the music industry in order to provide students with a maximum of opportunities. The Academy of Rock recently opened its own state-of-the-art recording studio to expand its programme with courses on creative music production techniques. The academy organises and hosts a large number of masterclasses and clinics with internationally-renowned artists. Students are prepared for graded music exams and diplomas which are fully accredited by UK regulators and include UCAS points.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">True to its motto that it\u2019s never too early (or too late) to rock, the academy launched Jungle Jam, a series of books designed for 0-5 year olds. Jungle Jam is slated to expand into an online music platform for young children and will provide a seamless transition to the academy\u2019s Early Years Programme which is set to be launched next January.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The CFI.co judging panel noted that the Academy of Rock is currently pursuing deals with Netflix and Disney, and has also embarked on regional expansion with franchises in a number of countries. The judges are pleased to offer the Academy of Rock the 2017 Outstanding Contribution to Music Education Asia Pacific Award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South East Asia is about to rock and it\u2019s not just the economy that is moving and shaking.
