Founded in 2009 with a grant from the Big Fat Institute for Advanced Interactive Studies, the mission of the BFU Music Academy is to educate and prepare budding musicians for the harsh, unforgiving world of disappointment and dethat awaits them. In addition to a curriculum that covers instrumentation and production, professors will also instruct students on the finer points of living off your girlfriend's parents, sleeping in a trailer with 5 other guys, and passing "recoupable studio costs" on to your heirs.
