Today, contemporary music instruction is part of nearly every college music program, but when Musicians Institute began in the late '70s there were few such options available to musicians. When a few dozen guitarists and three full-time instructors gathered for the first GIT class in 1977, they knew that they were breaking new ground in music education. Here's a brief look at how it all began. With the addition of the Bass Institute of Technology (BIT) in 1978 and the Percussion Institute of Technology (PIT) in 1980, Musicians Institute came into being. The MI facility, located through most of the '80s on Hollywood Boulevard above the Hollywood Wax Museum, became home to a growing student body and staff while the school matured into its position as an internationally recognized innovator in the field of contemporary music education. MI co-founder and inspiration Howard Roberts poses with his new Gibson Howard Roberts model guitar (c.1980). Throughout the 1950s, '60s and '70s, HR was one of the busiest guitarists in Los Angeles, appearing on hundreds of album, movie and TV dates, and his own LPs established him as one of the premier jazz guitar stylists of his generation.
As MI expanded and began attracting students from all over the world, it became the heart of an international community. MI co-founder Rebecca Natalia contributed tremendously to the heart and soul of the school during these years, making MI feel like home to students a long way from their own. Becky retired from MI in 199
