From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Music Industry Arts Program at Fanshawe College was the first school of its kind in Canada, (and one of the first 3 in the world), to train young people for careers in the contemporary music industry.[citation needed]. Started in 1970 as Creative Electronics by former Radio Caroline DJ Tom Lodge, but when the college demanded that Creative Electronics become a career program, he had the students build a recording studio, gathered music industry executives for an advisory group and changed the name of the program to Music Industry Arts. The program has been the starting point for hundreds of the world's top recording engineers, record producers and entertainment industry executives.
