Mission Statement

Classic Rock Turntables.com is an NC Registered Nonprofit Corporation residing in Asheville, North Carolina


Our Strategic Mission

Our Long Term Mission is to create a Classic Rock Music Training Facility for those who have Music Skills and want to take them to the next level… it will be located in the Music Haven, Asheville, NC, and will be called the Asheville School of Classic Rock

  • Create a Non-profit NC Corporation to administer funds donated by Members of our CR Community and interested parties in Classic Rock Music... (completed June, 2023)

    The Facility will select Students without Bias who have a desire to consider a Career in the Music Industry… we will use the lessons learned from the ‘60s and 70s that transformed Rock Music and where Classic Rockers were the incentive for others… they spurned the formation of Sub-Genres of Rock Bands that were influenced by Social and Political factions creating socially conscious lyrics and Instrument manipulation.

  • The Students will spend 3 weeks in an intensive Community atmosphere where they will break into Teams with Projects, i.e., study a specific Artist/Band/Song and create Sounds and Lyrics they influenced… learn how Bands perform together and benefit from the Lessons (Pros and Cons) learned from their pas

  • Students will be thoroughly evaluated on their Skills and a Program will be developed based on their specific needs… they will learn about the Music Industry to help wade through the myriad of Considerations that are part of the decision process to decide on one or the other.

  • The Students who wish to proceed with their search for a Career in the Music Industry, with the help of a Consular, will create a Roadmap of the events they must undertake to achieve their Goal... be it special education, training, or live contact with Audiences

  • Crote: Each Student will be monitored as they progress along their Pathway and joint decisions with their mentor will be made accordingly
