[News] [PR 11] 5/10/08 INFORMATION WEEK ARTICLE FEATURING USSCM INTERVIEW
USSCM in the news!
NEWARK, Delaware - Saturday, May 10, 2008 - Information Week has published a fine article about guitar learning on the web, which features an interview with US School of Commercial Music Director John Amaral. See it here:
About the US School of Commercial Music First founded in 1915, US School of Commercial Music continues a rich tradition as the oldest, most trusted name in distance music learning. Beginning in 1995, USSCM was the first institution to offer a college-level commercial music Diploma Program via online technology. Today, USSCM offers Diploma Programs in every major category of commercial music, as well as unique proprietary Certificate Courses with content unobtainable elsewhere. Recognizing that each music student has unique needs, USSCM's Matriculate(TM) online technology gives students the unparalleled flexibility to design the exact program they need by sequencing seven basic areas called "Modules": Performance & Improvisation, Schillinger System/LineWriting/Music Business, Advanced Improvisation, Melody/SongWriting & Linear Counterpoint, Arranging & Orchestration, Media Composition & Scoring and Music Production & Engineering. Each Module consists of 4 microsemesters of concentrated studies.
At the start of each microsemester, US School of Commercial Music students receive a large package of customized materials covering all their study subjects. Projects are recorded and returned to the college via the internet for rapid feedback. According to Professor Amaral of USSCM, "Choice and flexibility are great reasons to choose USSCM for your commercial music education." He continued, "USSCM has an approach unlike any other: · It mixes proprietary materials with the best of published materials, which are evaluated and upgraded twice yearly. · There are no distracting non-music 'academic' subjects, such as English or History. · There is no internal competition for resources between a 'bricks and mortar' operation versus 'online' · USSCM has only one agenda: a student's rapid progress on a personal "microsemester" pace, rather than keeping him or her in a too-lengthy "semester" program. · Students work in all four rhythm section instrumental areas each microsemester. · Students record homework in each subject. · Feedback about homework is greatly facilitated by online communication and often seems immediate. · USSCM tuition is realistic, with generous scholarships and discounts. · USSCM programs offer students a level of choice and customization very difficult to achieve and manage with a 'classroom' model of course delivery."
US School of Commercial Music is the most economical way to acquire the knowledge and skills a commercial musician needs to compete and 'collect a paycheck' in today's noisy musical environment. USSCM students save considerable money by studying at home, anywhere in the world, and they may actually get a better education than at typical 'bricks and mortar' schools. While there is no substitute for working with fellow students shoulder to shoulder, student peers are seldom professionals. In comparison with many other schools and other approaches to commercial music study, USSCM exposes each student to a higher quality of music information, better accompaniments and professional presentations, because it upgrades materials on a semi-annual basis, with the primary requirement that it be the best information and most effective presentation available. By rising above the typical noise in music education, USSCM saves its students time, money and energy.
