MI Students Reflect on the Impact of Live Playing Workshops (LPWs) on Their Musical Growth

In this insightful video, students from Musicians Institute (MI) share their personal experiences and the transformative impact of the Live Playing Workshops (LPW) on their musical journey. The LPW at MI is not just a program; it's a pivotal part of the students' education, pushing them to explore and master genres outside their comfort zone.
The students in the video candidly express how LPW forced them to learn and appreciate a variety of music styles, from country and blues to R&B, beyond their usual preferences like rock and metal. This exposure has been a significant learning experience, broadening their musical horizons and enhancing their versatility as artists.
One of the unique aspects of LPW highlighted in the video is its real-life simulation of performances. Students describe the invaluable experience of being on stage with band members, an experience that is hard to replicate outside of such a dynamic and supportive environment. This hands-on approach is critical in preparing them for the real world of music performance.
Furthermore, the video delves into the initial reluctance and eventual appreciation of the students for the LPW program. They discuss how being pushed to perform songs they were unfamiliar with or didn’t initially like was a humbling and essential part of their growth as performers. It reflects the realities of a musician's life - the need to adapt, be versatile, and excel in various situations.
For aspiring musicians, current MI students, or anyone interested in the intricacies of music education, this video is a must-watch. It not only showcases the unique educational approach of Musicians Institute but also provides real-life testimonials on the effectiveness and importance of programs like LPW in shaping a musician’s career.

My experience with Musicians Institute was pretty much the exact opposite of most reviews from students/alumni. I struggled heavily when it came to my studies, and found that most teachers and students wanted nothing to do with you if you weren't already at a certain level on your instrument. The people there really know how to make someone feel stupid when someone is inexperienced or trying to learn something new. I felt very discouraged being there, and found it to be a very cliquish and cold environment. Impossible to make friends or any type of connections. I'm currently stuck in non-music related day job and have struggled to get gigs due to the lack of help and guidance I needed. It seems like administrators only want to hear positive stories about graduates who succeed after MI, and have no concern with those who are struggling. Forget about any type of career assistance or job placement; anyone who receives assistance is someone who can make the school look good and attract new students.
