“Positive Disruption”
In episode seven we are shifting from the world of K-12 education and moving into postsecondary, though this conversation very much impacts the work being done in K-12 schools with career development and exploration, something all schools need to focus on more. Shane has a conversation with Dwight Heckelman, the founder of GROOVE U, a two-year music career program offering a diploma in the music industry. Dwight has over 20 years of experience in nearly every facet of the music industry. While attending Belmont University, he worked as a Field Marketing Representative at Capitol Records (Everclear, Jimmy Eat World) and after graduation, he worked as an engineer/songplugger, wrote the technical column for Music Row Magazine, and then as a producer and went on to become President of AudioStream — a multimillion-dollar independent record label. In 2005 he left the corporate world for academia, where he designed, implemented, and chaired the Music Management program at Hocking College. Dwight then served as the Career Development and Job Recruitment Coordinator at the prestigious Berklee College of Music.
And one day in 2009, he just decided to start his own school called GROOVE U, where they boast a 93% job placement in-field among all its graduates. Dwight is all about positive disruption in education, something, in my opinion, we all should be practicing, and we talk a lot about that in this episode. We recorded this episode on the Groove U campus right in Dublin, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus.
