BBC Introducing Musicians' Masterclass 2011

Musicians' Masterclass 2011

On Thursday 3 February we hosted a unique event for new musicians - the Musicians' Masterclass.

At two world famous studios, Abbey Road and Maida Vale, 250 new musicians got an opportunity to hear from some of the biggest names in the industry - including established artists, record labels, managers, BBC DJs and many more.

The list of experts that attended the Masterclass included the likes of Kaiser Chiefs, Tinchy Stryder, Calvin Harris, Toddla T, Annie Mac, Jo Whiley,Tom Robinson, Steve Lamacq, Zane Lowe, Bobby Friction and Pete Tong.

For those that couldn't make it, we filmed the day's events and streamed the whole thing live online. If you missed it, you'll find full length videos of every masterclass below to watch at your leisure.

      Hello there.

      As an upcoming, unsigned  artist, I was just conducting a small tutorial for disadvantaged kids at our local youth club, and I was discussing some material on your BBC Introducing website regarding the 2011  Music Masterclasses.
       
      I am gutted I missed out on applying for this opportunity in Feb 2011, and I would like to know, is there likely to be another opportunity to participate in this open day/music masterclass another time this year?
       
      If so, what would be the application process?
       
      Any information you can provide would be highly beneficial.
       
      I look forward to hearing from you soon.

      Dear BBC Introducing,

      I am uploading this cd (that is in my system), so that it can be sold to help every person living in East Africa.
      The name of the song is Running Through The Forest. The song, words and music is written, played and sung by me ROCKY SHAW 1 (Ian James Shaw).
      May God save everyone living in East AFrica.

      Yours Faithfully

      ROCKY SHAW 1 (Ian James Shaw)
