The doors to a newly launched music lab and recording studio was recently opened at MacDonald College, in St Patrick.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The project initiated by the Division of Culture, within the Ministry of Youth Development, Sports, Culture and the Arts, seeks to engage Students of MacDonald College, Mt Rose SDA and the TA Marryshow Community College, St Patrick, in its initial stage.<\/p>\n

The ribbon, to signal the official opening of the lab, was cut by musical icons Kellon Ogiste and Kelson Ogiste \u201cLuni Spark & Electrify.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senior Cultural Officer with responsibility for Music, Adrian Mark, speaking at the launch, said the lab will focus on music theory, instrument teaching, live sound and music production technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the lab itself, we\u2019ll be teaching music theory, students will learn to read and write music up to grade three level. We\u2019ll teach instruments, students will be able to set up a simple public address system, also we will create live bands,\u201d said Mark.<\/p>\n

A passionate Minister of Culture, Norland Cox, spoke of Government\u2019s role in providing the enabling environment through the birth of this project, with the aim of putting mechanisms in place for growth in developing the creative industry.<\/p>\n

The minister stated, \u201cWe recognise that there are immense opportunities, in the area of the creative industry, opportunities to create a livelihood, new careers. We\u2019re not asking persons to shy away from the traditional areas but we believe that there\u2019s significant value in the creative industry that persons can make a livelihood from.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parliamentary Representative for the constituency of St Patrick West, Anthony Boatswain, who was also present at the lab\u2019s opening, welcomed the initiative and spoke of the importance of investment in the Music Industry.<\/p>\n
