Chase And Status to open free music school
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 24 October 2012
Chase And Status are to open a free school in East London to teach teenagers the art of music production, The Times reports. As well as music-based lessons, participating sixteen to nineteen year olds will also receive tutoring in subjects such as maths and English.
Chase, real name Will Kennard, said the he was inspired to set up the school after seeing work his brother had done at North Trafford College in Manchester: “I came across some incredibly talented kids who did not know how good they were at music. They did not really progress to the next level and realise their ambitions. These kids were probably more talented than I was, yet here I am succeeding in the music industry. Why aren’t they?”
