Priceless tips from audio engineers, professional studio equipment and a glimpse into the life of a recording artist … it is all part of the Kool Skools experience for our students. And the resulting 2021 album, titled The Exception, is out now. Fletcher Stafford (Class of 2021) designed the CD cover (pictured in the gallery below).
Kool Skools is a songwriting and recording project, initiated by Empire Studios in Melbourne 25 years ago. Recording a CD is a great experience for students and teachers alike and the students love getting a copy of their music to share with family and friends.
The Exception features songs performed by some of the 2021 graduates as well some of this year’s best musicians and singers, including 2021 Music Prefect Mitch Wolksi and 2022 Music Prefect, Tayler Allwood.
Our College certainly provides a nurturing environment and the funding for students with a passion for music, so if your child is a songwriter, a singer or in a band — don’t let this opportunity pass them by and encourage them to audition for 2022 album.
