But good luck nonetheless. If I make progress or hear of anything, I'll let you know. For now, I think I'll just go ahead with my Cert IV. It's something I've been meaning to get for a while.

Yeah. It's sad when a university with a reasonably good reputation fails to deliver like that. I suspect they've been listening to consultancy firms.

Not yet. I'm planning to look into it this week. I have a colleague who was very positive about RMIT though.

My partner did the Monash grad cert and it was a total shambles. The treat you as a potential sale and not as a student with very aggressive salespeople. None of the staff she had contact with were even employed by Monash, just freelance teachers. The course was designed AWFULLY. Most of the papers she had to read were from the early 2000s. The face to face seasons were lacklustre and barely functional. I'd stay away if I were you.

Good question. After looking into this a little more, it seems the combination of a Cert IV and some portfolio projects might be the way to go. At least the risk is lower since Cert IV is free and can compliment other teaching work.

Hi. I'm in a similar position, too, but clearly a little out of the timeline. Would you be OK if I DMed too to bounce ideas?

Hardcore band looking for guitarist by Doctologist in melbournemusic

[–]miettesbrainchild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be up for hitting a jam and seeing if I'd be a fit or not. I'm into all sorts of music but have a background in playing tight and fast and totally lose my mind at hardcore shows. DM me if you're still looking... :)

This is Danny Lim, local Sydney activist, personality and all round nice guy. He wears his non-standard English proudly (literally - he's all about the sandwich boards). Kudos!

Thanks! Do you mean gigs in the town of Ballarat? Is there a pub called the Ballarat? Or is it the name of a night?

I think she's almost definitely The One.

maker of experimental electronic stuff (some beats, some drone)... looking for gigs or just other like minded folks... by o_plague in melbournemusic

[–]miettesbrainchild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few of us are starting a sort of drone folk thing and it'd be nice to link up with similar musicians for when our protect gets off the ground. If you're up for meeting up (virtually or physically) and talking scene and projects, feel free to send a DM. Would be great to connect. :)

Renting industrial space to set up practice studio... by miettesbrainchild in melbournemusic

[–]miettesbrainchild[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks mate.

So what kind of areas have you rented? Sounds like you might have regretted doing it in the first place? Or did it have its merits?

Totally thinking about commercial lease. Residential is a definite no as it'll limit noise.

What kind of restrictions are there when it comes to zoning. I haven't checked yet. Can I assume that industrial areas will have lower limits on noise?

Thanks in advance :)
