[Ocean Butterflies Music Forest] Singapore's Elite Music Programs For Your Music Career

Ever wonder how interesting a job can be?
Here are some of the most unique jobs(in my opinion) my friends around me are doing:
  • A taoist priest
  • A medium
  • A feng shui master
  • A DJ
  • A social worker
  • Toilet paper wholesaler
  • A talent-headhunter
  • A full time blogger
  • A toy seller
I personally feel that friends who hold positions in the music industry have gotten themselves really cool jobs too. Every position I learnt is an eye opener to me: musicians, songwriters, producers, film makers, sound engineers, sound operators, Audio Programmers, Music editor, Music Therapists, Audio designers... even a boom mic operator amazes me. He has this enormous black bag filled with all kinds of big & small microphones and knows exactly which mic to use for which scene, even to capture the slightest pin drop!

Just 5 years ago, I never knew these jobs even exist!

Have you ever thought of getting yourself a career in this music industry?
The best part is if you're selected, the Government is funding up to 90% of your course fees! 

Friends without musical background (like me) may still apply!
I have no musical instrument background at all. 
The only musical instrument I can play is perhaps the recorder back in Primary School. :p
