History

Musicians Institute was originally founded as The Guitar Institute of Technology in 1977. Based upon the educational philosophy of guitarist Howard Roberts, GIT was co-founded and managed by Los Angeles music businessman Pat Hicks. With the addition of the Bass Institute of Technology (BIT) in 1978 and the Percussion Institute of Technology (PIT) in 1980, GIT became Musicians Institute. MI co-founder Pat Hicks provided the organizational skills that turned Howard Roberts' educational philosophy into a functioning music school. [3][4]

Musicians Institute has since been sold to, and is now owned by Japanese businessman Hisatake Shibuya. Mr. Shibya is also the president of Musicians Institute. MI is a for-profit, privately owned business.

Huell Howser video

In November 2010, Huell Howser recorded a music track and music video for an episode of California's Gold. It required Howser to sing Al Jolson's "California, Here I Come" twenty-seven times for the music track, and the video was shot on a Red One and two digital SLR cameras. The final scene was filmed on a jib in front of the Musicians Institute with Howser on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[5] The video was reviewed as having "a vibe akin to a Bollywood-meets-High School Musical casting call", with Howser's singing called "a Henry Higgins-esque patter".[6]
