Welcome to 2014 and a New Look Informer

1

So it’s the beginning of a new

year and what a year its going

to be. But before I start on 2014,

lets just reflect on 2013. I’m so

proud of all of our students and

educators. The quality of

teaching, performances and

commitment to learning was

astounding and humbling this

year.

There is a snapshot video (about

5 mins) on Facebook that reflects

on 2013, I encourage you to

have a look and be proud of the

community that you are helping

to create. And if you haven’t

liked us on Facebook then you’ll

be missing out on events, like

2

and stay connected.

Ok, so now onto 2014…boy do we

have some big plans. The 1st

February all of our ETI_People will

be meeting to discuss ETI_2014

and Beyond. Every year we want

to get bigger and better.

So what’s in store for ETI this

year…well we have started

discussions with Jessica Mauboy’s

people, Muhammad Ali’s people

and it looks like our friends from

PINK’s band may be returning to

Adelaide…shhh, you didn’t hear it

from me! And of course you all

know about our first ETI_Fringe

Show, check the Adelaide Fringe

guide for “Drumming Hattrick” to

3

see 3 crazy drummers put on a

show to surprise them all.

There is also ETI_Act starting soon,

ETI_Music Minis, our ETI_Values

SuperHeros, ETI_Birthday Parties

and more great workshop

opportunities.

Being the beginning of the year

we thought that an overview of

ETI was in order so we’ve

devoted this ‘Informer’ to giving

you a sneak peek behind the

scenes at ETI.

Rock on!

So What Is The ETI Difference?

If you are a current student or part of the ETI community then there’s no need to explain. But for those of you new to the ETI Experience, here’s what we stand for:

ETI is a values based organisation

that employs and partners with

people of high integrity and vision.

The ETI Difference is PITCH perfect : • Proficiency – Our educators,

facilitators and consultants are professional, reliable and experts in their fields.

• Inspirational – We ensure that our programs are varied and meet the needs of the client and inspire excellence.

• Thoughtful – We care about the outcome and put our customer at the centre of our business.

• Creative – We think beyond the norms and boundaries and produce fun, sustainable and effective programs.

• Holistic – We start with the end in mind and where our client is in their life and community.

Whether we’re working with people

through music, acting and/or arts

education or providing clients in

small to big business with effective

corporate initiatives we focus on

our PITCH.

Every school holidays ETI

provides educational and

extension workshops for ETI

Students. The school

holiday’s programs are also

open to the public so it’s a

great way to experience the

ETI Difference.

The types of programs that

we run are:

• Rhythm Rebels (percussion workshop)

• Advanced Performance Training

• Advanced Vocal Coaching

• Performances and Live Practice

• Studio Recording Sessions

• Acting Workshops • Guitar Riff Clubs • Come and Try Music

Lessons • Fun with Music

2

• Music Minis Workshops • One on one

coaching • Song writing

workshops • And anything else we

can think of or get asked to do.

The programs are always fun

they are always available

and assessable to all ages.

It’s easy to loose momentum

when lessons pause over the

holidays.

Stay connected and stay

inspired by booking into one

or two school holiday

programs each holidays.

Or come and try something

new!!

Keep an eye on Facebook

for information.

Finding it hard to stay committed throughout the break?

ETI’s overall goal and vision is to increase the participation in music and the arts through providing excellence in education and services.

We focus on and measure our performance in 5 key areas to ensure we are staying on track and will be a viable and successful part of the music and performing arts community for many many years.

These areas we believe are integral to maintaining a high quality service to our clients.

• Key Area 1 - The Customer Experience • Key Area 2 - The ETI Difference • Key Area 3 - Our Systems and Practices • Key Area 4 - Business Sustainability and Profit • Key Area 5 - Market Growth and Brand Management

ETI_Events, Workshops, Clinics and Performances

ETI regularly puts on specialty events that are provided to increase participation in the arts in SA and to increase the learning opportunities for ETI students. Generally the workshops are for a small fee if you are an ETI student and a marginal fee if you are not.

These workshops are a great way to increase your knowledge of the music industry and are generally lead by professional (and sometimes very famous) artists. Make sure you get along to as many as you can and bring your friends they are really enjoyable even for non-musicians or people who just love music.

ETI management encourages everyone to like and follow us on Facebook to ensure you find out about the events. We generally promote them via the newsletter and website. Wouldn’t it be a shame is you missed out meeting and learning from your favourite star because you didn’t book your ticket!

We are planning a big year of stars and inspirational leaders – stay tuned and book early.

Fringe tickets available online now!
