[@Racerdew]

i love this school! if you love music, and you want a lifestyle playing music until you die, then i highly recommend this school!

[@jazzydog]

I saw Bruce Buckingham & Dan Gilbert there!. They are great teachers!.

[@Dallas3212]

I feel your pain! But dont lose hope. Nunca pierdas la esperanza!

[@jedimindtrix2142]

lol at the person who said it costs 100's of thousands of dollars to attend MI. You are paying about 49,000 for a 2 year degree from there. You not only get an education but these all important things called CONNECTIONS. If you want a career in music it's not only what you know but who you know as well. The networks you form at a school like this are invaluable on so many levels. I'm going out there to check it out in a couple months and if I like the vibe I get and the facilities I'll be trying to attend.

[@metal422life]

when i did the math in 2010 it was 237000 without sat scores and hs

[@alanz1099]

My experience with Musicians Institute was pretty much the exact opposite of most reviews from students/alumni. I struggled heavily when it came to my studies, and found that most teachers and students wanted nothing to do with you if you weren't already at a certain level on your instrument. The people there really know how to make someone feel stupid when someone is inexperienced or trying to learn something new. I felt very discouraged being there, and found it to be a very cliquish and cold environment. Impossible to make friends or any type of connections. I'm currently stuck in non-music related day job and have struggled to get gigs due to the lack of help and guidance I needed. It seems like administrators only want to hear positive stories about graduates who succeed after MI, and have no concern with those who are struggling. Forget about any type of career assistance or job placement; anyone who receives assistance is someone who can make the school look good and attract new students.

[@Protcall]

It sucks at my high school because they don't teach guitar :( I learned myself and I've been playing guitar for about 4 years and I'm going to go here when I'm out of high school

[@musiciansinstitute]

your program of interest in more detail with an admissions counselor. You can contact admissions by calling 323-462-1384 or by emailing [e-mail]. @Lookbackeyes, Musicians Institute does not have dormitories, but does offer housing options through a third party provider. We also have strong relationships with housing providers in the Hollywood area who provide affordable apartment-style housing to our students.

[@musiciansinstitute]

@tetoadriancradleoffi Hi, please visit our website. It contains the application requirements for MI, as well as more information on the specific programs we have available.

[@seanSHRED87]

That dudes a crazy good blues player! I cant wait to go!!! ^_^

[@drummeryan337]

Hi, I'm only a freshman in high school, but I have been drumming and taking lessons since I was five, so I've been drumming for ten years (check out my videos). It's my dream to come here to study drums and maybe even recording, but my parents are already against it. They say that making a career as a musician is a struggle and isn't practical. I understand what they're saying, but after learning about MI, I still think that coming here can help you make a career as a musician. Any advice?

[@AirheadEmoBoy57]

MAKE THAT GUITAR SCREAM SOMETHING IT NEVER HAS...i remeber..even when i was little..i was always drawn to guitars..at baby sitters houses

[@musiciansinstitute]

[@WinnerTube]

can you go there to learn about guitar and vocals at the same time, and would it cost more?

[@TheAtticus82]

@Clawsofthetiger Paul Gilbert, John Fruciante, Frank Gambale, Synister Gates. All of which are considered legends in their genre.

[@Biake22]

What is life like as a student? It seems like you just go and do your own thing. Are you emmerged into a community? Easy to meet people?

[@musiciansinstitute]

@MMNyeD We actually have been to India this year, but only to pay a visit. Please head to our website. We have guideliness on how to apply, info about the programs we offer, as well as practical tips for international students.

[@ventsintheedge]

[@musiciansinstitute]

@MetalHybrid Hey don't worry, you can always apply for financial aid with us. We have general information on that at our website. Whatever happens, please don't lose hope. Keep practicing and loving music, and you'll get where you want to be if you work hard at it!

[@filariosisherzwurm]

Super Kanal ! Danke und Grüsse aus Deutschland

[@scorpionz44]

yea i called them, basically they almost dont even look at it, they just have to look at academics and stuff, for SATs u need only a 1500, easy, and payment for classes depends on the instrument ur takin. guitar is roughly 20 grand, but as u stay there, the tuition decreases

[@edjumarq4]

I want to be an audio engineer...I love music and I have tried some amateur programs. But I really dont have the experience, is there any requirements before i can enroll? Do I need to have experience or can I learn all I need to know at MI? Please answer!

[@mmim4]

Do you need to have some knowledege of the instrument you want to learn more about at MI or can you start fresh there?

[@1991bluesman]

hello mi...im 20 years old and i am just recently getting my GED...i dont have a lot of money....but i have been playing guitar for a very long time...i still am not that great on lead guitar solos but i do know a lot of basic chords.i would like to learn how to play lead though..i am going to be going to a community college very soon for the music chorses there....it has been my dream since i was 12 to attend musicians institute...what are some recommendations as far as what programs,tuition,..

[@chris00412]

Damn! I want to get there now!!!

[@ObscurePunkXX]

Im from Sweden and im thinking of study in the states and MI seem pretty interesting

[@A7Xblood]

@musiciansinstitute I searched and couldn't find anything about grades. Where is it located?

[@MrHartApart]

Goddamnit I hope I qualify for Student Aid.. I need this school.

[@snoopylove94]

I'm 17 and a junior in high school and I'm considering going in for either Music Business or pure guitar. Is it possible to be able to switch majors if I get accepted here? ps. I've been playing guitar for almost 2 years and I'm decent at the guitar but I'm no "rock goddess." Could I attended this school and improve even more on my guitar skills?

[@Biake22]

When are the deadlines? Is it like a traditional school where you can only apply each semester?

[@Malik82691]

This is perfect.

[@DEQVF]

video awesomized!

[@Badomen_5150]

i went it was a fun tour if u call before you can get a private tour i wish i was there when paul gilbert or marty friedman was there

[@frogbeergolfgolf]

I'm really interested in progams in Drums. I mean this place looks amazing but I hope it really doesn't cost too much cuase I really want to go there so bad. I live near there but I don't know if I can afford. The website doesn't list any pricings.

[@AuggieG]

I'm attending this fall!

[@pencilled44]

How did it go

[@volleyballchampion]

I'm a little afraid about this college. Last time I looked for a college it was Full Sail. I looked up some reviews for it and people say it was TERRIBLE.

[@Tempo2010]

@musiciansinstitute thanxs i will check it out

[@guitalfredo]

Hi MI I really want to learn music in that level, how could I enter in MI? I´m from Mexico and I dont have too much money to pay a school like MI and to live in Hollywood. If I could study in MI I´ll really give my best. Greetings!!

[@Tomastheskater]

Hi I have a question. Is there any way to get into MI from out of state?? I'm from Florida & don't have the kind of money to travel to Califonia.

[@theraven1232]

Im looking at going to this school for bass. It's either this one or LA music academy I'm not sure which one to choose

[@makeascene07]

im soo confuzed on music colleges...if you want to be a singer, could i go to this college?and do you have to have expierence or be well...good?

[@ZachFerdmanMusic]

I'm only in 9th grade, but i have been playing for about 5 or 6 years. Where can i find information on auditions?

[@auq21]

So how does it work if you want to join the music industry program as far as attending the school? And do the people who want to become recording artist do they have to audition for the school?

[@musiciansinstitute]

@koolperson55 Going to MI means you live with music day and night. No Math, Science, or other subjects. We're not allowed to post links at the comments section but if you go to our website, you'll see all the information you need. Check out the How To Apply, Programs (you may download the course catalog here), Financial Aid, and Scholarships sections.

[@musiciansinstitute]

@KillMasterGit: Musicians Institute does not have an age limit for application, but does require a High School Diploma or equivalent certification. Tuition varies per program.

[@MarkAnthonyClark]

[@daoyinyang]

No, i did some research and they have no dorms or any property of housing

[@MotherMaryComes]

You should definitely come, but ask them to help you find a place to live first...you don't want to be homeless in Hollywood. But they will help you! My son is starting there in 2015.

[@kgp227]

Hey MI I've been playing guitar for around 5 years now and I would like to think I'm a decent player. What sort of scholarships do you guys offer that could cover someone for around a year of study?

[@ayushmanbhalla8737]

Kgp 227 okay then ready with 35 lacs rupees

[@anttown4ever]

Is it not Eric Matin at 0.16 with the blue guitar?

[@kyrinky]

@Racerdew do u know any information about financial aid or something or if it is expensive cuz i asked some counselors but they didnt give me any helpful information.....

[@dmraco]

Does M.I's Bachelor program contain "Advanced perfroming experience, technique, and musicianship" like the A.A. program.

[@ERSguitar]

This makes me want to scrap my plans of getting a degree in engineering as a backup before seeing if i can make it with music so bad

[@A7Xblood]

I'm 14 and I've already decided to go here. I've been practicing for about two hours a day for the past six years, playing stuff like Avenged Sevenfold. I'm ready to go and I hope that anyone reading this in MI right now can reply and tell me their experience.

[@SebastianGerges]

Hoping this aged well

[@naruka1023]

MI, please be honest, does the majority of musicians that graduated MI came out as a talented musicians?

[@lobmania]

It's time to make an update to this video...

[@Protcall]

Do you have to meet the A-G requirements?

[@viddelt]

think thats bad? berklee has 250 000 $. Musicians institute seems like a good college

[@musiciansinstitute]

@ThaKingOfSting It's not the number of years, but the amount of work you put into learning that counts. Go over our site and our videos here to get a feel of the school. Keep practicing and when you feel ready to apply, send us a demo with all the other requirements. Good luck!

[@musiciansinstitute]

Hi @Makeascene07 and @LukezzWrenz, Musicians Institute's admission requirements vary per program. For entrance to our Associate of Arts program, we take into consideration your audition, musical background, your personal statement, letters of recommendation and high school transcript in consideration of your acceptance. Admission to our Bachelor program does require submission of SAT or ACT scores and places more of an importance on musical background and high school GPA. We recommend discussing

[@TyrantoftheAbyss]

What do i have to do to be able to get into this school?

[@austineatsfood]

Do you think you could tell me about how much it cost's to go there?

[@Dandiel_]

Ive been looking into MI for about a few months now i graduate this year my career and focus in a college is music so i just need some feed back about it because people are telling this aint all that great:/ and i shoulld get to CSUN's music program.

[@Racerdew]

@kyrinky well finacial aid is dependent on you personally, your taxes and all that shit determine your amount... i wrote an essay for a hardship scholarship and stuff like that to help lower the cost.. at the end of my last quarter, which will be coming up this march i will have paid a total of 40,000 thats including the grants and financial help i have recieved. hope that helps...

[@PurposefulPorpoise]

[@Dallas3212]

$23,00 a mother effing term or for the wholle program??

[@ProjectRecon1]

@drummeryan337 Dude I had the same stuggle with my parents. Ever since i could remember, I have always had a huge and genuine passion for music. I knew from the begenning that becoming a audio engineer/ producer is what I wanted to do. Bottom line! But my parents always shot my dream down saying that a career in the music industry isnt "recession proof" and that I would never make any money doing it. My point is, dont give up on your dreams because your parents dont approve. Do it for you!

[@PurifyingLightGaming]

How much to go 4 years please?
