"Hi, my name is Remi. In December 2008 I completed Point Blank Music Production Course which took 12 weeks, there were about 10 people that were chosen to do either Music Production, DJ, Dance or Event Management. In my course me and my 3 friends made a backing track to our song named "Bye Bye" I know some you will be thinking of Mariah Carey but no it is not the same song.

Finally, the twelfth week arrived and we had to perform our song live which was nerve racking but with the help of point blank teachers all went well, even a lady from our local radio asked if we would like to sing on her radio station. Point Blank contacted our school so that we could see the college on Penn Street, Hoxton which was amazing. They asked us if we were interested in scholarships at the college and gave us an application form which are filled in and gave back to my school to send it to the college.

Within a month, I had gained scholarship to a singing course which i am still doing know which i love and i am so happy point blank gave me the scholarship because I have seen a singing talent in me and maybe one day i might be signed to a record label and be the new Beyonce." - Remi Babajide

"Sarah and George were never made to feel their Special Educational Needs were an issue. Both have had a rough time with learning and they were encouraged to recognise their intellectual and creative worth...The difference this work and attainment has made to these children's lives is incalculable."- Lisa Warren, Parent

 "....your unique set up, responsiveness to local needs and issues, your use of high quality resources, including tutors from the music industry, leads to a range of quality programs to engage this hard to reach group" - Hackney EBP

"...a model of success, creating diverse partnerships within the borough and engaging a wide range of young people."  - Arts Council     

I can definitely say without the intensity and professionalism of the course I would never have had the skills, knowledge or even guts to approach Channel 4 in the first place. Kary Stewart, the tutor on my course at Point Blank should be awarded tutor of the year- she was encouraging, inspiring and patient! - Gemma Cairney
