complete rip off, come pay 40k and learn music. not worth it at all. the music industry is about meeting people. yes its good to meet people with the same goals as you, but not for 40k it isnt. even my classmates hated it. nothing there is good quality or regularly fixed, everything is falling apart. broken mics, broken speakers, headphones, instruments. we all got promised we would have spaces for rehearsals and jamming. not only is there no spaces to play, for the rooms there are its always "no you cant jam", "no the room is booked already", so you cant ever have anytime to practice, drummers especially. another promise was ensembles, ya that didnt happen till the last 2 terms. as for the organization. hah give me a break. its like they have no idea what the fuck is going on. i didnt even get my new schedule until a week before the classes started. then you have to factor in millions of rescheduling classes because of how much they fuck up. it is really annoying. and by the end of it nothing has been taught for what and how to start your career in the music industry. the only upside is the teachers are nice and know how to teach you, but their job is to teach so..... Nothing is above and beyond, not worth 40k to sit on my ass afterwords. id recommend looking elsewhere for a music school. Humber, or fuck even Berklee in boston MA, it costs more but you get your money worth posted Aug 6th, 2014 10:37 pm

MWI can be good for some, and a waste of time for others. My experience was not good. The teachers were disrespectful, centered students out. People were failed to make sure they retake the classes at 500 a pop, students were set up to fail. Seemed like an entire bait & switch operation. They said and promised a lot of things, but did the opposite. I left when I saw the writing on the walls that it was a operation preying on hopes and dreams of students. I even overheard teachers rating students and in picking who was going to pass and fail. Very unprofessional in every respect. The only upstanding thing they did was give me a refund on time remaining.

I would not recommend this school. Look into OIART in London, it has been around for a long time and truly respected as a learning facilities in the entertainment industry.

Metalworks was a shag rugged studio that needed cash infusion...IE. Students to pay the freight to stay in business......very shady. Bad reviews are posted for a reason even with good ones floating around out there.

Please beware and explore other options, seriously. posted Dec 6th, 2011 9:52 pm
