I have been a classical singer for most of my life with the exception of having to keep bread and butter on the table via other jobs. I qualified in 1984 with two PDC’s after 4 years of study in Musical Theatre and Classical singing plus a few other areas.

I have been a registered music Industry Mentor with two regional Arts bodies in Newcastle since approximately 1997.

On the subject of music there is not much I don’t know. However, of late I thought I would design several basic music courses, based upon my extensive experience so far and I am curious as to how I might get the music industry to accredit them with a qualification status as opposed to an educational qualification status.

I say music industry qualification status because I would like my hard work to count where it matters most and also for my hard work to count for others inclined to undertake a course that I have designed and drafted.

If you can help me I would appreciate your reply.

Thank you.

Yours Faithfully

Maureen Teasdale.
