 As a successful broadcaster and music stalwart, Selwyn found that the Media and Music Industry sectors were in dire need of training and development. The idea of collaborating his experience with the qualification sprung to mind. Selwyn then decided to start his own academy in Lotus River. SCM Academy will offer Accredited Courses in Music Industry Practice and Radio Production.

With the focus on NEET’s [not in employment, education, or training], the need to educate unemployed youth, school dropouts with much needed training and development in the Music Industry. We often run workshops on the Cape Flats to give the community an insight as to how this sector functions and what to expect with the accredited courses and how the qualification will empower them to finding employment or create self-employment through our network of Broadcasting and Music Industry professionals.

 We are especially passionate about empowering learners who have a low qualification to apply through Recognition of Prior Learning. This process can help these individuals to acquire a formal qualification that matches their knowledge and skills, and thereby contribute to improving their employability, mobility, lifelong learning, social inclusion and self-esteem.

Selwyn has teamed up with Mariana Hanse from Cape Music Academy. Mariana is an accomplished academic in the Music Education Field and is passionate about empowering the Youth in further studies in the Music Industry. Mariana focuses on the Accredited Music Performance Courses including vocal and musical instrument learning.

The 2023 Music Industry Masterclasses starts on Saturday 30 September 2023, a 6 week short course every Saturday 10h00 to 12h00 until Saturday 4 November and will be held at Every Nation, Saxenburg Park1 in Blackheath.

Online registration is R50 and the full cost of the 6-week course is R300 [valued at R1 500]

Transport is available from the Lotus River Sports Complex in Buck Road
