The Grove Studios at Somersby celebrated their unique partnership with Hunter TAFE’s Regional Music Institute by holding an open day on Saturday, May 16.
The open day was held for potential students interested in studying the Diploma of Sound Production that will begin on Monday, July 13.
The open day was attended by over 150 visitors, Gosford mayor, Cr Lawrie McKinna and Mr Allan Smith from the NSW Premier’s Office.
The event gave potential students the opportunity to talk to teachers, explore the boutique campus and understand what the Grove Studios and Diploma of Sound Production can offer.
Each of the four studios was fully operational and ran unique workshops and information sessions.
Sessions and workshops included an indie rock session with a live band recording, a pro tool workshop and a singer-song-writer question and answer session.
Producers were available to critique students’ work.
Engineers were on hand in each studio to explain how the state-of-the-art writing, recording, mixing and mastering equipment works.
The Grove Studio has a 30-year history. Owner and head producer, Mr Scott Horscroft, has redesigned the studios to function as a professional writing, recording, mixing and mastering facility.
