LA Music Academy Offers Scholarships to Vocal, Drum, Bass and Guitar
Students

Pasadena, CA - March 26, 2008 - LA Music Academy (http://www.lamusicacademy.edu) has announced scholarships are now available for all music departments, according to the school's president, Tom Aylesbury. Interested domestic and international students demonstrating exceptional musical talent, ability and enthusiasm can apply now for the
2008-2009 school year. Applicants are evaluated based on their essays, academic history, playing skills, and letters of recommendation. Last year, LA Music Academy awarded $100,000 in scholarships.

"The overall skill level of our student base is increasing dramatically," says Aylesbury. He says the average graduate GPA has soared to above 3.5, adding, "As more scholarships are awarded, the bar is being raised, and we see that the students are challenging each other to perform and work with their peers just as if they were working in professional situations."

LA Music Academy gives students big responsibilities from day one; whether playing in ensembles with some of L.A.'s finest professional studio musicians and performers or having to make their way through one of the world's most intense lesson plans. The Academy is known for the personal attention that students receive from instructors, and students who use these
connections wisely have gone on to perform with artists such as Chick Corea, Jeff Beck, Lifehouse, Ricky Martin, Hilary Duff, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, The Calling, Sepultura and Airto.
