We know that we provide students with the highest calibre of music training here at pointblank, just take a look at our student success blogs to see how well our students get on having passed through our doors (both physical and digital!). We know that’s not everything, however, and a musician’s life is a social one. That’s why we strive to involve our students and alumnus as much as possible of what our bustling home city has to offer. After all, what’s the sense in living in one of the biggest and most global cities in the world if you’re not going to get out there and enjoy it? With this in mind, we thought it a good time to remind all of our students and followers of everything we’ve got going on in March 2018 with this event round-up. If you want access to events like these, check out the courses we offer and see how we can help you take the strides you need in the music industry.
