MUSICIANS INSTITUTE TAKES SHAPE

With the addition of the Bass Institute of Technology (BIT) in 1978 and the Percussion Institute of Technology (PIT) in 1980, Musicians Institute came into being. The MI facility, located through most of the ’90s above Hollywood Wax Museum, was home to a growing student body and staff while the school matured into its position as an internationally recognized innovator in the field of contemporary music education.
